Charles Law

Charle’s Law states that, for a given amount of a gas kept at a constant pressure, its volume changes directly with temperature. In other words, if you increase the temperature of the gas, its particles move faster and the gas expands, increasing its volume. Conversely, decreasing the temperature makes the particles slow down and the gas contracts. The law highlights a direct relationship: temperature rise leads to volume increase, and vice versa, assuming pressure and the amount of gas stay the same. It's fundamental in understanding how gases behave under different thermal conditions.
