A temperature of about 0.01 K can be achieved by magnetic cooling. In this process a strong magnetic field is imposed on a paramagnetic salt, maintained at 1 K by transfer of energy to liquid helium boiling at low pressure. The salt is then thermally isolated from the helium, the magnetic field is removed, and the salt temperature drops. Assume that 1 mJ is removed at an average temperature of 0.1 K to the helium by a Carnot-cycle heat pump. Find the work input to the heat pump and the coefficient of performance with an ambient at 300 K.
