Topic: Thermodynamics

Kinetic energy of the molecules in terms of absolute temperature (T) is proportional to

  • A. T
  • B. T^-4
  • C. T²
  • D. $\sqrt{T}$

Answer: A. T

Explanation: Kinetic energy of molecules is given by E = (3/2)kT, where k is the Boltzmann constant and T is Absolute temperature. Thus, E is directly proportional to T.
