Charles's Law is a fundamental principle in thermodynamics that explains the direct relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas when pressure remains constant.

The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, provided the pressure remains constant. In simple terms, as the temperature of a gas increases, its volume also increases, and vice versa.

This relationship is captured in the formula:

\(\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}\)

Where:

• \({V_1}\) and \({V_2}\) represent the initial and final volumes of the gas.
• \({T_1}\) and \({T_2}\) are the initial and final temperatures in Kelvin.
