If temperature scale is changed from °C to °F, the numerical value of specific heat will

A

Increases

B

Decreased

C

Remains unchanged

D

None of the above

Answer

Decreased

Explanation

Solution

Q=m.c.ΔθQ = m.c.\Delta\theta ⇒ c=Qm.Δθc = \frac{Q}{m.\Delta\theta}

In temperature measurement scale ΔT∘F>ΔT∘C\Delta T{^\circ}F > \Delta T{^\circ}C

so S∘F<S∘CS_{{^\circ}F} < S_{{^\circ}C}.
