볼츠만 상수

정의

입자의 평균 열운동 에너지와 절대 온도를 관련짓는 기본 물리 상수로, 정확한 값은 1.380649 × 10⁻²³ J/K이다.

설명

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.
