Charles's law

Charles's law (sometimes called the Law of Charles and Gay-Lussac) is one of the gas laws. The law was first published by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1802, but he referenced unpublished work by Jacques Charles from around 1787. This reference has led to the law being attributed to Charles. The relationship had been anticipated by the work of Guillaume Amontons in 1702
