Constante de Boltzmann

Définition

Une constante physique fondamentale de valeur exacte 1,380649 × 10⁻²³ J/K, reliant l'énergie cinétique thermique moyenne des particules à la température absolue.

Explication

The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is (3/2)k₂T: at room temperature (293 K), this is 6.07 × 10⁻²¹ J = 0.038 eV per molecule. Since 2019, the kelvin is defined by fixing k₂ to exactly 1.380649 × 10⁻²³ J/K. The Boltzmann constant also appears in entropy (S = k₂ ln W) and the ideal gas law, connecting thermodynamics to statistical mechanics.
