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

Correct Answer: 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)
