Charles-Gay-Lussac law

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010425

A gas law stating that for a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. As temperature increases, the gas molecules move faster and exert more pressure, causing the volume to expand if pressure is kept constant. This relationship is expressed as V/T = k, where V is volume, T is absolute temperature, and k is a constant.
