Question

The temperature of an object is raised by 50 degree c. This is equivalent to an increase in its absolute temperature of?

Answer 1

If y and x are final and initial temperatures respectively then,

In Celsius scale
Change in temperature
x - y = 50°C ………(1)

In Kelvin scale
Change in temperature
= (x + 273) - (y + 273)
= x + 273 - y - 273
= x - y
= 50°C ……[∵ From (1)]

∴ Increase in temperature in Celsius scale = Increase in temperature in absolute scale.
