We know from the second law of thermodynamics that some of the high-quality energy in each step of processing is
A)wasted and degraded to lower-quality energy.
B)upgraded to higher-efficiency energy.
C)maintained at the same level of quality.
D)destroyed completely.
E)converted into renewable energy.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The second law of thermodynamics states that in any energy conversion process, some of the high-quality energy will inevitably be wasted and degraded to lower-quality energy. This is known as entropy, and it cannot be avoided. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer.
