Question

If the temperature scale is changed from ${}^{\circ }C$ to ${}^{\circ }F$, the numerical value of specific heat will

• A. increase
• B. decrease
• C. remain unchanged
• D. nothing can be said

Answer 1

The correct option is B decrease

Since magnitude of $1^{o}F$ is equal to $\frac{5}{9}$ of magnitude $1^{o}C$, the numerical value of specific heat will decrease.
