PV = constant
What each symbol means
| Symbol | What it stands for |
|---|---|
| P | Pressure of gas (Pa) |
| V | Volume of gas (m³) |
When to use this
Temperature T must remain fixed throughout process. Valid for ideal gas. Gas must be in thermal contact with large heat reservoir. Process must be quasi-static (infinitely slow).
