Why entropy was generated when heat was provided by resister


A piston cylinder system initially contains 10 kg of saturated liquid water at 200 kPa. The water was slowly heated under constant pressure until all of the liquid water was vaporized and became saturated vapor. During this process, the heat loss from the piston-cylinder system to ambient air is 5000 kJ, which occurs at its boundary with ambient air at 300 K. Please determine The amount of heat transferred into the system during this process; The total entropy generated if the heat needed to heat this system was provided by a hot reservoir with a temperature of 600 K; The total entropy generated if the heat was provided by a resister heater with the consumption of electricity; Explain why more entropy was generated when the heat was provided by a resister heater?
