Question

In defining the specific heat, temperature is represented in ${}^{o}F$ instead of ${}^{o}C$. Then the value of specific heat will :

• A. decrease
• B. increase
• C. remain constant
• D. be converted to heat capacity

Answer 1

The correct option is A decrease

Fahrenheit $F^o=1.8\times C^o+32$
Hence the numerical value of F${}^o$ is greater than C${}^o$
So, the value of specific heat decreases when F${}^o$ is used.
Option A.
