Boyle's Law
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
At constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely related.
Understanding Boyle's Law
Boyle's Law states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume. This means that when you compress a gas, its pressure increases, and when you allow it to expand, the pressure decreases.
Formula
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Pressure₁ × Volume₁ = Pressure₂ × Volume₂
