Options:
A) Increases
B) Decreased
C) Remains unchanged
D) None of the above
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ Q=m.c.\Delta \theta $
therefore $ c=\frac{Q}{m.\Delta \theta } $
In temperature measurement scale $ \Delta T{}^\circ F>\Delta T{}^\circ C $ so $ {S _{{}^\circ F}}<{S _{{}^\circ C}} $ .
