Universal Upper Bound to the Entropy of a Charged System

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/36453We derive a universal upper bound to the entropy of a charged system. The entropy bound follows from application of the generalized second law of thermodynamics to a gedanken experiment in which an entropy-bearing charged system falls into a charged black hole. This bound is stronger than the Bekenstein entropy bound for neutral systems.9 pages.
