Homework Statement


Okie so I'm working on my physics work, and I need to compare Charles' Law (for finding absolute zero) to another method used to calculate absolute zero.

3. Attempt at the Solution
For this, I was thinking of looking at Carnot engine, but I absolutely do not understand and while I have looked at sources online, I think that my examiners might think I copied it off online because it goes beyond my course. Does anyone have any ideas on other methods used to find absolute zero?

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

I'd like to help, but I'm not that familiar with the different methods for finding 0K. Can you post some of the links you've found with your Google searches? Thanks.
