Generalized second law and entropy bound for a Reissner- Nordstr\"om black hole

Abstract

It has been conjectured that black hole interacting with its surroundings will obey the Generalized Second Law (GSLGSL) of thermodynamics. Conservation of GSLGSL is due to the fully thermal nature of Hawking radiation and an upper bound on entropy. We study these aspects for a Reissner-Nordstro¨\ddot{\textbf{o}}m (RNRN)black hole and conjecture that GSLGSL may be conserved if the equation of state of radiation near the horizon is modified. An upper bound on S/ES/E, similar to the Bekenstein form evolves in the calculation.
