Question: 1

By imparting heat to a body, its temperature rises by 150C. What is the corresponding rise in temperature on the Kelvin scale?

Solution:

The size of 1 degree on the Kelvin scale is the same as the size of 1 degree on the Celsius scale. Hence, on both the Kelvin and Celsius scales the difference or change in temperature is the same. Therefore the corresponding rise in temperature on the Kelvin scale will be 15 K.
