Coefficient of Performance
COP = Q_c / W
What it says
How much heat a fridge moves per unit of work — usually greater than one.
Symbols
| Symbol | Quantity | Dimension |
|---|---|---|
COP | Coefficient of performance (dimensionless) | 1 |
Q_c | Heat removed (J) | M L^2 T^-2 |
W | Work input (J) | M L^2 T^-2 |

Enter what you know. No account needed.
Fill in all but one: Q_c, W, COP are all empty.
