dcterms:description |
The \(\textit{Boltzmann Constant}\), symbol \(k\) or \(kB\), is the physical constant relating energy at the individual particle level with temperature,
which must necessarily be observed at the collective or bulk level.
It is the gas constant \(R\) divided by the Avogadro constant \(N_A\), having the same dimension as entropy.
It is named after the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann.
