Charles law apparatus
Product Description
Charles Law Apparatus is a scientific device used to demonstrate and study Charles’s Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure. The apparatus typically consists of a sealed container connected to a graduated tube or syringe, allowing measurement of gas volume changes as temperature varies. It is widely used in physics and chemistry laboratories for educational and experimental purposes, helping users understand gas behavior under thermal changes.
