Question

What is the relation between Kelvin and Celsius scales temperature?

• A. $\mathrm{K}=273-{}^0\mathrm{C}$
• B. ${}^0\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{K}-273$
• C. $\mathrm{K}=273$$\times$${}^0\mathrm{C}$
• D. $\mathrm{K}={}^0\mathrm{C}-273$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

${}^0\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{K}-273$

Explanation:

Kelvin and degree celsius are two different scales that are used for measuring the temperature.

Kelvin and degree celsius are interchangeable and can be interconverted using the given formula:

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{K}={}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}+273 \\ {}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{K}-273 \\ \mathrm{Where},\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{Kelvin}\mathrm{scale} \\ {}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{Degree}\mathrm{celsius} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, Option B is correct.
