where NA is the Avogadro constant. For example, the ideal gas law in terms of Boltzmann's constant is

where N is the number of particles (atoms or molecules).

Famous quotes containing the words relationship with the, relationship and/or constant:

    Some [adolescent] girls are depressed because they have lost their warm, open relationship with their parents. They have loved and been loved by people whom they now must betray to fit into peer culture.

    Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
