'''Boyle's law''' states that  
'''Boyle's law''' ([[Robert Boyle]]) states that  
:<math>PV\vert_T=k</math>
:<math>PV\vert_T=k</math>
where <math>P</math> is the [[pressure]], <math>V</math> is the volume and <math>k</math> is a constant.
where <math>P</math> is the pressure, <math>V</math> is the volume and <math>k</math> is a constant.
This holds true for an [[ideal gas]].
==History==
Boyle's law is attributed to both [[Robert Boyle]] and to Edme Mariotte. However, it seems that it was originally
proposed by Henry Power in 1661 <ref>Henry Power "Experimental philosophy, in three books : containing new experiments microscopical, mercurial, magnetical : with some deductions, and probable hypotheses, raised from them, in avouchment and illustration of the now famous atomical hypothesis." Printed by T. Roycroft, for John Martin and James Allestry (1664)</ref>.
