The present article is motivated toward delving into the concept of entropy, a fundamental consequence of the second law of thermodynamics with particular emphasis on the thought experiment by James C. Maxwell, famously known as the “Maxwell’s demon”, which in turn enables our visualization of the connection of entropy with information.
