===Meaning===
The [[Boltzmann Constant|Boltzmann constant]] is the molar [[Molar Gas Constant|molar gasconstant]] constant divided by the [[Avogadro Constant|Avogadro constant]].
===About the Boltzmann Constant===
Denoted as *The [[Boltzmann Constant|Boltzmann constant]] denoted by the symbol '''𝑘 ''' or 𝑘<sub>B</sub>𝑘=*The [[Boltzmann Constant|Boltzmann constant]] has a value of 1.38×10−23k=1.38×10−23 38×10<sup>−23</sup> 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: 𝑃𝑉=𝑁𝑘𝑇PV𝑃𝑉=NkT.𝑁𝑘𝑇*Important in the study of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.
