Question

State whether true or false :

If the temperature scale is changed from ${}^{o}C$ to ${}^{o}F$ the numerical value of specific heat will increase.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

As magnitude of $1^{o}C$ is only $\frac{5}{9}$ of $1^{o}F$ therefore numerical value of specific heat will decrease

The temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is equal to the temperature T in degrees Celsius (°C) times 9/5 plus 32:

$T\left(°F\right)=T\left(°C\right)\times 1.8+32$
