Charles’s Law Formula
Charles Law equation states that, V α T. Now the Charles Law formula is,
V1/T1 = V2/T2
where,
- V1 is the Initial Volume
- T1 is the Initial Temperature in Kelvin
- V2 is the Final Volume
- T2 is the Final Temperature in Kelvin
This formula is used to find the volume or temperature of the gas if pressure of the gas is constant.
Charles Law
Charles Law is one of the fundamental laws used for the study of gases. Charles Law states that the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature (at absolute scale) at constant pressure. Famous French physicist Jacques Charles formulated this law in the year 1780.
