Choose the correct statements among the following:
A. Heat flow between two bodies is due to difference in their temperatures.
B. The change in temperature in Celsius and Kelvin scale are the same.
C. Kelvin is the standard temperature scale.
D. Heat is caused while temperature is the effect.
Heat flow between two bodies is due to difference in their temperatures.
The change in temperature in Celsius and Kelvin scale are the same.
Kelvin is the standard temperature scale.
Heat is caused while temperature is the effect.
Correct statements: A, C, and D.
Solution
Heat flows from a higher to a lower temperature (A is correct). Although the numerical change is the same in Celsius and Kelvin, they are based on different zero points; hence statement B is incorrect. Kelvin is the standard unit for temperature (C is correct). Heat being generated (cause) and temperature being the resulting effect (D is correct).
