Q:

Which one of the following is the correct relation between the Kelvin temperature (T) and the Celsius temperature (fc)?

A) These are two independent temperature scales B) T = tc
C) T = tc - 273.15  D) T = tc + 273.15 
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) T = tc + 273.15 

Explanation:

Lord Kelvin, working in Scotland, developed the Kelvin scale in 1848. His scale uses molecular energy to define the extremes of hot and cold. Absolute zero, or 0 K, corresponds to the point at which molecular energy is at a minimum. The Kelvin scale is preferred in scientific work, although the Celsius scale is also commonly used. Temperatures measured on the Kelvin scale are reported simply as K, not °K.

T (in °C) + 273.15 = T (in K)

T (in K) − 273.15 = T (in °C)
