'''Charles's law''' ([[Jacques Alexandre César Charles]]) states that  
:<math> \left. \frac{V}{T}\right\vert_P=k</math>
:<math> \left. \frac{V}{T}\right\vert_P=k</math>
where <math>V</math> is the volume, <math>T</math> is the [[temperature]] and <math>k</math> is a constant.
where <math>V</math> is the volume, <math>T</math> is the [[temperature]] and <math>k</math> is a constant.
This holds true for an [[ideal gas]].

==History==
Charles's law was apparently discovered by  [[Jacques Alexandre César Charles]] in 1787, as mentioned by [[Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac]] (Ref. 1):
<blockquote>"Although I had recognized on many occasions that the gases oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbonic acid, and atmospheric air all expand identically from 0° to 80°, citizen Charles had noticed the same property in these gases 15 years ago; however, since he never published his results, it is only by great luck that I knew it."</blockquote>
