Question

Is pressure directly proportional to volume?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

Pressure: The state of being pressed or the act of pressing. A force or stress that acts against resistance in any direction. The force that is exerted equally across a surface is quantified as force per unit of area. The pascal is the SI unit for pressure (Pa).

Volume: The capacity of a solid shape is measured using volume, which is a three-dimensional quantity. It indicates that a closed figure's volume is used to determine how much three-dimensional space it can fill.

  1. The volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure under which it is measured.
  2. According to Boyle's law, at a constant temperature. As a result, pressure and volume have an inverse proportional relationship

.Vα1PV=KPPV=K

Where, P pressure and Vvolume.
