Constant Volume Gas Thermometer

According to ideal gas equation – $$PV = nRT$$ When \(V\) is maintained constant, the term \(nR/V\) is constant for a given mass (moles) of gas, pressure \(P\) becomes directly proportional to the temperature \(T\). A device satisfying this relation is called a “constant-volume gas thermometer”.
