If the door of a refrigerator is kept open, then which of the following is true

A

gets cooled

B

gets heated

C

neither gets cooled nor gets heated

D

gets cooled or heated depending on the initial temperature of the room

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The reason is that with the door open the temperature will start to rise inside the refrigerator. The thermostate will kick in and try to cool it back down. This means the motor is running which means heat is being added to the room.
