A refrigerator works between and It is required to remove calories of heat every second in order to keep the temperature of the refrigerated space constant. (Take 1 cal = 4.2 J). The power required is
W
W
W
W
To solve this problem, we need to determine the power required by the refrigerator.Given:⢠The refrigerator works between and ⢠Heat removed per second calories.⢠1 calorie Joules.First, convert the temperatures to Kelvin: K KThe coefficient of performance (COP) for a refrigerator is given by:Substitute the known values:Calculate the COP:The power required (input work) is related to the heat removed and the COP by:Convert the heat removed to Joules: J/sSubstitute the values into the power equation:Calculate the power: WTherefore, the power required is approximately W.This corresponds to Option 1.
