==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
The [[Boltzmann constant]] is the molar [[gas]] constant divided by the [[Avogadro constant]].
===About the Boltzmann Constant===
Denoted as 𝑘 or 𝑘/subB
𝑘=1.38×10−23
k=1.38×10−23 J/K.
Relates the average [[Kinetic Energy|kinetic energy]] of [[particle]]s in a [[gas]] with the [[temperature]].
Fundamental in the statistical description of physical [[system]]s.
===Examples===
Used in the ideal [[gas]] law:
𝑃
𝑉
=
𝑁
𝑘
𝑇
PV=NkT.
Important in the study of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.
