Question #87109

a company markets an electric heater that is described as 100% efficient at converting electric energy to thermal energy. does this violate the second law of thermodynamics?

No, because the second law of thermodynamics prohibits the transfer of heat from a cold body to a hot one, therefore such an electric motor does not exist in nature.
