Charles's Law
Charles's law (also known as the law of volumes) is an experimental gas law that describes how gases tend to expand when heated. A modern statement of Charles's law is:
When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be in direct proportion.
This law describes how a gas expands as the temperature increases; conversely, a decrease in temperature will lead to a decrease in volume.
The law was named after scientist Jacques Charles, who formulated the original law in his unpublished work from the 1780s.
