SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the derivation of the Absolute Scale of Temperature as presented in SL Arora's Class 11 textbook, specifically on page 11.3 under section 11.7. The key concept discussed is Charles's Law, which states that the volume (V) of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (T) at constant pressure. The conversion to the Absolute Scale involves adding 273.15 to the Celsius temperature, resulting in the expression (T + 273.15) for temperature in Kelvin.
PREREQUISITES
