Solution
The second law of thermodynamics deals with the transfer of heat.
Explanation:
According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat cannot flow from a region of lower temperature to a region of higher temperature on its own. We can force heat to flow from a region of lower temperature to a region of higher temperature by doing work on the system.
