7.a
Electrical appliances (TV, stereo) use electric power as input. What happens to the power? Are those heat engines? What does the second law say about those devices? Most electric appliances such as TV, VCR, stereo and clocks dissipate power in electrical circuits into internal energy (they get warm) some power goes into light and some power into mechanical energy. The light is absorbed by the room walls, furniture etc. and the mechanical energy is dissipated by friction so all the power eventually ends up as internal energy in the room mass of air and other substances.
These are not heat engines, just the opposite happens, namely electrical power is turned into internal energy and
