Universal Upper Bound to the Entropy of a Charged System

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We 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.
