Question

Which of the given situation is an application of Charles law?

1. Vehicle tyres deflate during winter.
2. Drawing fluid into syringe
3. Water bubble expands when moving towards surface
4. Bends experienced by Scuba divers

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Vehicle tyres deflate during winter.

The correct answer is Vehicle tyres deflate during winter.

CONCEPT:

• Charles law: This law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
• \(\frac{V1}{T1}=\frac{V2}{T2} \)

EXPLANATION:

• According to Charles law, the volume of a gas decreases with a decrease in temperature.
• During the winter season, the volume of air in the vehicle tyre decreases due to low atmospheric temperature.
• All the other situations are applications of Boyle's law.
