Definitions from the Web

Term: Charles Law

Definition: Charles Law, also known as Charles's law, is a scientific principle that describes how gases tend to expand when heated. According to the law, the volume of a given mass of gas at a constant pressure is directly proportional to its temperature.

Senses/Usages:

  1. Scientific Sense: In the field of thermodynamics, Charles Law states that when the pressure of a gas is constant, the volume increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature.
  2. Popular Sense: Charles Law is commonly used to explain various everyday phenomena, such as the expansion of air in a balloon when it is heated or the decrease in tire pressure during cold weather.
  3. Local Sense: In certain regions, "Charles's Law" may refer to a specific adaptation or interpretation of this scientific principle by local scientists or scholars.

Sample Sentences:

  • According to Charles Law, when the temperature of a gas increases, its volume expands proportionately.
  • The concept of Charles's Law can be observed when a sealed bottle of soda expands due to increased heat.
  • If you leave a helium balloon in a hot car, it will obey Charles's Law and expand until it bursts.
  • Cold weather affects the pressure in car tires since the gas inside them adheres to Charles Law, causing a decrease in volume.
