charles law
jacques alexandre - césar charles was born on november 12, 1746 in beaugency, france. as a youngster, he learned only basic mathematics, and hardly any practical science. when he moved to paris he worked at the bureau of finances. in the year 1779, ambassador from the new nation, united states of america, benjamin franklin visited paris. charles soon learned about franklins experiments, and was impressed. he begin by learning about nonmathematical, experimental physics.
jacques charles experimented with the relationship between the temperature and volume of gasses. he theorized that various gasses such as nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen expanded in direct proportion to temperatures that they underwent. charles never published his work, but it was later referred to by gay - lussac in one of his publications. the law which describes the thermal expansions of a gas has come to known as charles law.
he is best known for his formulation in 1787 of one of the basic gas laws, known as charless law, which states that, at constant pressure, the volume occupied by a fixed weight of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. however, during his lifetime, charles was better known for inventing the hydrogen balloon.
