Hey everyone, welcome back to our Engineers Academy!
Today we're going to dive into the world of physics and explore Boyle's Law.
Boyle's Law, also known as the Boyle-Mariotte law or Mariotte's law, is a fundamental principle in physics. It was discovered by the Irish physicist Robert Boyle in 1662.
The law states that at constant temperature, the pressure and volume of an ideal gas are inversely proportional. This means that when the volume of a gas is reduced, its pressure increases. Alternatively, when the volume of a gas is increased, its pressure decreases.
This law is based on the assumption that any molecules making up an ideal gas remain far apart from one another due to their negligible molecular force of attraction. This allows for a direct relationship between pressure and volume at constant temperature for ideal gases.
Remember, this law only applies to ideal gases – those where molecules do not interact with each other or with their containers. In real-world scenarios, gases deviate from ideal behavior due to intermolecular forces and container effects. However, as gas pressures and temperatures approach those found in outer space, real gases behave more like ideal gases.
