Question

The temperature of a body rises through 1°C. What is the corresponding rise on an absolute scale?
Short Note

Solution

The absolute scale of temperature is the Kelvin scale.
Conversion of temperature from Celsius to Kelvin scale is
The temperature in Kelvin To K = Temperature in Celsius To C + 273.
So a rise of temperature of 1oC in the Celsius scale is equal to the rise of 1oK in the Kelvin scale.
