Question

The temperature measured on celcius scale is -l0^° the corresponding temperature on kelvin scale is
1. 10 K
2. 283 K
3. 263 K
4. 14 K

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 263 K

CONCEPT : 

• Temperature is the measure of the total amount of heat in a body and is usually measured in the unit of degree celsius 
  • Kelvin, Fahrenheit, Rankine  are the different units used to measure the temperature of a body
• The relationship between the kelvin and degree Celsius scale is given by

⇒ 1° C = 273.15 K

CALCULATION :

Given T = -10⁰C

• The given temperature can be written as

⇒ T_K = -10 + 273.15 = 263 K

• Hence, option 3 is the answer.
