Which of the following statements is true according to the second law of thermodynamics?
  • Step 1: Understand what the second law of thermodynamics is about. It deals with heat and energy transfer.
  • Step 2: Learn that the second law states that heat naturally flows from hot objects to cold objects, not the other way around.
  • Step 3: Recognize that this law implies that the overall disorder, or entropy, of the universe is always increasing.
  • Step 4: Conclude that any statement claiming heat can flow from cold to hot without external work is false according to this law.
