ideal gas law

ideal gas law

noun Physics.
the law that the product of the pressure and the volume of one gram molecule of an ideal gas is equal to the product of the absolute temperature of the gas and the universal gas constant.
Also called gas law.

Ideal gas law is always a great word to know.
So is electric intensity. Does it mean:
a particle having the same mass and spin as an electron but having a positive charge equal in magnitude to that of the electron's negative charge
the magnitude of an electric field at a point equal to the force that would be exerted on a small unit charge placed at the point

ideal gas law  
A law that describes the relationships between measurable properties of an ideal gas. The law states that P × V = n × (R) × T, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles of molecules, T is the absolute temperature, and R is the gas constant (8.314 joules per degree Kelvin or 1.985 calories per degree Celsius). A consequence of this law is that, under constant pressure and temperature conditions, the volume of a gas depends solely on the number of moles of its molecules, not on the type of gas. Also called universal gas law. See also Boyle's law, Charles's law, van der Waals equation.
