When the air conditioner is on why is it so warm upstairs?
Heat rises, if you have a single unit serving the whole house there may be some air balancing needed to get more air upstairs. Is there a return grille upstairs? If not adding one will help. I am assuming you ac unit is maintained and operating properly and there are no issues with it.
The upstairs of a house being warmer than the downstairs is an example of heat transfer by?
convection
What are Air Conditioner heat strips for?
heat strips are what heats your home..
Why refregerator is not used to cool up the rooms?
The refrigerator takes heat from one place and puts it somewhere else - it is in effect a "heat pump". What you propose can be done, if the heat the refrigerator takes out is taken outside the house. This is exactly what an air conditioner does. It is, in effect, a "refrigerator" especially adapted to cool rooms.
Which component of a refrigerator or air conditioner absorbs and releases heat energy?
compressor

Air conditioning system is exothermic or endothermic?
An air conditioner, as a system, is an exothermic device. The purpose of an air conditioner is to move thermal energy (heat) from one place to another (from inside the house to outside the house). A perfect air conditioner, that is, an air conditioner that requires no energy to move the heat (such as a heat sink) is thermally neutral - it is neither exothermic nor endothermic. . Most devices we consider air conditioners require motors to drive compressors and fans. These motors, and the mechanical devices they drive, give off heat, and it is this excess heat that tips the scale and makes the air conditioner an exothermic device. .

Might be a blockage in the ductwork somewhere.
What floor is it warmer in the house?
Heat rises, so unless your roof insulation is really crappy, the upstairs and attic will always be warmer.

By moving the warmer air from upstairs back down. There are systems available that can be installed to do this for you, or you can make your own.
