  1. charles's law

    Charles's Law, also known as the law of volumes, is a principle in physics that states the volume of a given amount of gas held at a constant pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. This means that as the temperature of the gas increases, so does its volume, as long as the pressure remains constant. Conversely, if the temperature decreases, the volume also decreases.

  1. Charles's law

    Charles's law is an experimental gas law which describes how gases tend to expand when heated. A modern statement of Charles's law is: The volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature on the absolute temperature scale if pressure and the amount of gas remain constant; that is, the volume of the gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature. this directly proportional relationship can be written as: or where: This law explains how a gas expands as the temperature increases; conversely, a decrease in temperature will lead to a decrease in volume. For comparing the same substance under two different sets of conditions, the law can be written as: The equation shows that, as absolute temperature increases, the volume of the gas also increases in proportion. The law was named after scientist Jacques Charles, who formulated the original law in his unpublished work from the 1780s.
