How much heat does a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 3.0 deliver when supplied with $1.00 \mathrm{kJ}$ of electricity?
(II) ($a$) What is the coefficient of performance of an ideal heat pump that extracts heat from 6$^\circ$C air outside and deposits heat inside a house at 24$^\circ$C? ($b$) If this heat pump operates on 1200 W of electrical power, what is the maximum heat it can deliver into the house each hour? See Problem 35.
