Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A refrigerator removes 800 J of heat from food and requires 200 J of work. What is its COP? What would be the COP if the work input increased to 300 J?

💡 Hint: Use COP formula for both scenarios.

Question 2

Design a simple experiment to test how different temperature settings on a refrigerator affect its COP using a thermometer and a stopwatch.

💡 Hint: Remember to control variables like initial conditions.
