Who developed the kelvin scale?
William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin developed the kelvin scale.
What does the term Kelvin refer to when talking about heat?
Kelvin was the scientist who thought up the Kelvin scale of temperatures. 273.15 below zero on the Celsius scale is "absolute zero"; the lowest possible temperature where any activity due to heat is stopped. Theoretically it is not possible to reach absolute zero in anything because to reach it you would need something colder to absorb the heat, and there is nothing colder.
Why do you use kelvin temperature scale?
The Kelvin scale starts at a true zero; 0o K is the temperature at which there is actually no heat. Therefore, you get a true measure of heat using this system; an object at twice the temperature in kelvins is actually twice as hot. That is not true of other temperature scales such as Celsius or Fahrenheit.
What scale is used to measure very low temperatures?
Any scale can be used; the absolute, rational, thermodynamic based scale is the Kelvin scale.
Can the Kelvin scale have negative temperatures?
No, that's why it was invented. 0 on the Kelvin scale is absolute 0.
How is heat measured Identify instruments used to measure heat?
—Thermometers. —Celsius Scale —Kelvin scale —Calorimeter
On what temperature scale does 0 indicate a total lack of heat?
Kelvin
Why Fahrenheit and centigrade are degrees while kelvin is not?
Because Kelvin is a scale reflection of reality, of what heat is; the amount of molecular and atomic movement. At 0 Kelvin, a temperature not yet reached, all movement stops and their is no upper limit to the Kelvin scale either.
What unit is used to measure heat intensity?
Heat intensity (how Hot is it) is measured by the objects Temperature in Degrees, Fahrenheit, Centigrade, or Kelvin. Heat content (energy) is most commonly measured in Calories.
Is kelvin a unit of temperature?
yes The Kelvin scale is a way of measuring temperature from absolute zero. The gradient is the same as the Celsius (or Centigrade) scale. Not actually a unit of heat, just a measurement of temperature.
What is the kelvin scale based on?
The Kelvin scale is based on temperature. To add to the above, the Kelvin scale is based on the Celsius scale in that the measurment unit is the same. The difference is the starting point where 0 Kelvin is set at absolute zero, or -273.15ºC.
What type of scale did lord Kelvin develop?
The Kelvin temperature scale

Does all molecular motion stop at zero celsius?
All molecular motion stop at cease at : (1) -459 degrees in FAHRENHEIT SCALE (2)-273 degrees in CENTIGRADE SCALE and on zero at kelvin scale. For more details ,contact at saqibahmad81@yahoo.com
How is Lord Kelvin's scale different from Celsius?
Degrees in Kelvin scale = Degrees in Celsius scale + 273,15.
What were Lord Kelvin's inventions?
The Kelvin scale
