B Correct answer
Explanation

The electron volt (symbol eV; also written electronvolt) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.602$\times$10$^{−19}$ joule (SI unit J). 


By definition, it is the amount of energy gained by the charge of a single electron moved across an electric potential difference of one volt.

Hence, the correct option is $B$

The international standards of weight and measures are made of:

  1. gold silver alloys

  2. platinum - iridium alloys

  3. copper - gold alloys

  4. platinum - iron alloys

B Correct answer
Explanation
The addition of 10% iridium to the platinum greatly increases its hardness and so reduces wear.Hence the international standards of weight and measures are made up of platinum and iridium alloys.

The centigrade $(^0 C)$ scale can be converted into Kelvin scale by the formula:

  1. Temperature in Kelvin + 273

  2. Temperature in Kelvin - 273

  3. Temperature in Fahrenheit + 273

  4. Temperature in Fahrenheit - 273
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The temperature T in Kelvin (K) is equal to the temperature T in degrees Celsius $\displaystyle \left( ^{ \circ  }{ C } \right) + 273$: 


$\displaystyle { T } _{ \left( k \right)  }={ T } _{ \left( ^{ \circ  }{ C } \right)  }+273.15$

Therefore, temperature in $\displaystyle ^{ \circ  }{ C }$ =  temperature in Kelvin +273.

Hence, option B is correct.

Convert $-679^{\circ}$ F to celsius.

  1. 412.24
  2. $-$395

  3. 963
  4. $-$400
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

We know,    $\boxed { {  }^{ 0 }C=\left( {  }^{ 0 }F-32 \right) \times \frac { 5 }{ 9 }  } $

                   $\swarrow $               $\searrow $
temp in ${  }^{ 0 }C$                       temp in $F$.
${  }^{ 0 }C=\left( -679-32 \right) \times \dfrac { 5 }{ 9 } $
${  }^{ 0 }C=-395$
$\therefore $  temperature in ${  }^{ 0 }C$  u $-{ 395 }^{ 0 }C$.

What is the temperature of water in kelvin if the water is at $44^{\circ}C$ ?

  1. 330

  2. 317

  3. 229

  4. 230
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Temperature in$ K$ = Temperature in $^{\circ}C + 273$


                                     = $44^{\circ}C + 273$

                                    = $317 K$.

So, the correct option is $B$
