Temperature is the average ................ of the molecules of a substance

A

difference in K.E and P.E

B

sum of P.E and K.E

C

difference in T.E and P.E

D

difference in K.E and T.E

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
As total energy of substance is equal to the sum of the K.E. and P.E of atoms (or) molecules.
`:.` Temperature is equal to the average KE of molecules.
`:. KE= T.E-P.E`
