Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which property of a liquid-in-glass thermometer makes it suitable for measuring temperature?

  1. The liquid changes colour with increasing temperature
  2. The liquid becomes less viscous with increasing temperature
  3. The liquid evaporates at a fixed temperature
  4. The liquid expands uniformly with increasing temperature
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: DThe liquid expands uniformly with increasing temperature
A liquid-in-glass thermometer works because the liquid expands uniformly (linearly) with temperature, allowing a consistent scale to be marked. Colour change is not a property used in standard liquid-in-glass thermometers. Viscosity changes are not the basis of the measurement. Evaporation would destroy the thermometer's function.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the temperature in degrees Celsius that corresponds to absolute zero?

  1. −273 °C
  2. 0 °C
  3. −100 °C
  4. −373 °C
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A−273 °C
Absolute zero is 0 K, and using the conversion θ(°C) = T(K) − 273, this gives 0 − 273 = −273 °C. 0 °C is the melting point of ice, not absolute zero. −100 °C has no special physical significance in this context. −373 °C would incorrectly result from subtracting 373 (the boiling point of water in kelvin) instead of 273.

CIE IGCSE Physics: Temperature and thermometers FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Physics questions on Temperature and thermometers are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Temperature and thermometers for CIE IGCSE Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CIE paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Temperature and thermometers practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Temperature and thermometers questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Temperature and thermometers typically tested on CIE IGCSE Physics papers?
Temperature and thermometers appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
