Is the smallest change in temperature represents by Kelvin?

No, the smallest change in temperature is represented by a Kelvin is the same as in Celsius, as one Kelvin is equivalent to one Celsius degree. The Kelvin scale is the same size as the Celsius scale but begins at absolute zero.


Each degree on the Kelvin scale equals?

The relationship between Kelvin and Celsius scale is K=C+273. 15. Where K is Kelvin temperature and C is Celsius temperature. Each degree on the Kelvin scale equals the same degree in Celsius scale differing only in the zero value. The freezing point of water and absolute zero are the zero values of Celsius and Kelvin scale respectively.


How is the size of the defined on the Celsius scale?

The size of one degree Celsius on the Celsius scale is equivalent to one degree Kelvin on the Kelvin scale. This means that the size of the degree is the same on both Celsius and Kelvin scales, with the only difference being the zero point.


What would a temperature range of 5 degrees on the celsius scale be on the kelvin scale?

A temperature range of 5 degrees Celsius is equivalent to a range of 5 Kelvin, as the size of one degree Celsius is the same as one Kelvin. So, a temperature range of 5 degrees Celsius is equal to a range of 5 Kelvin on the Kelvin scale.


What do you mean by 1 degree celsius of rise in temperature equal to 1 kelvin of rise in temperature of a substance?

1 kelvin and 1 celsius degree are both exactly the same thing ... a unit of temperature, equal to 1/100 of the difference between the freezing and boiling points of water. The only difference between the Kelvin scale and the Celsius scale is that they start from different temperatures ... the Celsius number starts from the freezing point of water, whereas the Kelvin scale starts from 'absolute zero'. So the Kelvin temperature will always be 273.15 more than the Celsius temperature ... because it starts at 273.15 lower. But when the temperature changes by some number of Celsius degrees, it changes by exactly the same number of Kelvins, because 1 Kelvin is exactly the same size as 1 Celsius degree.

How does a temperature change of one kelvin compare to a change of 1 Celsius?

They are the same; the kelvin scale is designed so the difference between degrees is the same as the celsius scale.


What scale is the same as the celsius scale?

Kelvin. Both Celsius and Kelvin are measurements of temperature in the metric system, and both have the same size of degree. The only difference between them is that Kelvin has been shifted down the scale so that 0 degrees Kelvin is absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature.

Why is Celsius better?

It has the same magnitude as the kelvin scale.

The freezing point of water and absolute zero are the zero values of Celsius and Kelvin scale respectively.


At what temperature do the Celsius and Kelvin scales have the same numerical value?

At any point in the Celsius scale, the difference between degrees Celsius and degrees Kelvin is 273.15. At no point do the two scales cross.


What would be 50000c on a kelvin scale?

50273.15 K Conversion from Celsius to Kelvin is the temperature in Celsius + 273.15. Conversion from Kelvin to Celsius is the temperature in Kelvin - 273.15. Celsius and Kelvin use the same interval in the scale, however Kelvin starts at 0 degrees where Celsius starts at -273.15 degrees (absolute zero).

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.


Why Scientist use the celsius scale?

It has the same magnitude as kelvin.


How are Fahrenheit and Kelvin scale the same as the Celsius temperature?

No but they can be converted.


Which is larger a Celsius degree or a Kelvin?

Hi when dealing with the kelvin scale the numbers will be larger than in celsius because when you are converting from celsius to kelvin you need to add 273.15 on to the temperature in celsius. This is because zero celsius is 273.15 kelvin.
