Kelvin Scale Formula ; Temperatures Conversions ;
The Kelvin scale is a temperature scale in which zero degrees Kelvin (0 K) is the absolute zero temperature. This is the temperature at which all molecular motion ceases. The Kelvin scale is named after the Scottish physicist and mathematician William Thomson, Lord Kelvin (1824-1907), who first proposed it in 1848.
The Kelvin scale is an absolute scale, meaning that the zero point is fixed and does not depend on the location or the type of thermometer used. The Celsius scale is a relative scale, with zero degrees Celsius (0°C) defined as the freezing point of water and 100°C as the boiling point of water.
The Kelvin scale is also a linear scale, meaning that the difference in temperature between two points is proportional to the difference in Kelvin degrees between those points. The Celsius scale is a nonlinear scale, with the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point of water at 100°C.
To convert temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. To convert temperatures from Kelvin to Celsius, subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin temperature.
Fahrenheit Scale
The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale named after the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, who proposed it in 1724. It uses the degree Fahrenheit (symbol °F) as the unit of measurement. The scale has fixed points at the freezing point of water (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and the boiling point of water (212 degrees Fahrenheit).
Celsius Scale
The Celsius scale is a temperature scale that is used to measure the temperature of an object. The Celsius scale is based on the freezing point of water and the boiling point of water. The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius and the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.
Kelvin Scale
The Kelvin scale is a temperature scale in which the freezing point of water is 273.15 kelvins (K) and the boiling point of water is 373.15 K. The zero point of the Kelvin scale is absolute zero, which is the theoretical temperature at which all molecular motion ceases.
1. Celsius to Kelvin Formula
The Celsius to Kelvin conversion formula is:
K = Celsius + 273.15
This formula converts Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15 to the Celsius temperature.
2. Kelvin to Celsius Formula
The conversion from Kelvin to Celsius is given by the following equation:
C = K − 273.15
3. Fahrenheit to Kelvin Formula
Fahrenheit to Kelvin conversion is the conversion of temperature units from Fahrenheit to Kelvin.
The conversion formula is:
K =
where K is the Kelvin temperature and F is the Fahrenheit temperature.
4. Kelvin to Fahrenheit Formula
The Kelvin to Fahrenheit Formula converts Kelvin to Fahrenheit.
Fahrenheit = Kelvin – 273.15
