Jacques Charles (1746–1823) was a French inventor and scientist, best known for his work in the fields of chemistry and physics. He is particularly noted for Charles's Law, which describes the relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas at constant pressure. According to this law, the volume of a gas increases with an increase in temperature, provided the pressure remains constant. Charles was also involved in the early development of lighter-than-air flight, designing and constructing hydrogen-filled balloons.
