This article appears in Volume V05, Page 937 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHARLES, JACQUES ALEXANDRE CESAR (1746-1823) ,
French
  mathematician and physicist, was born at
Beaugency
 , Loiret, on the 12th of November 1746. After spending some years as a clerk in the
ministry
  of
finance
 , he turned to scientific pursuits, and attracted considerable attention by his skilful and elaborate demonstrations of
physical
  experiments. He was the first, in 1783, to employ hydrogen for the inflation of balloons (see AERONAUTICS), and about 1787 he anticipated Gay Lussac's law of the dilatation of gases with heat, which on that
account
  is sometimes known by his name. In 1785 he was elected to the
Academy
  of Sciences, and subsequently he became
professor
  of physics at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers. He died in Paris on the 7th of
April
  1823. His published papers are chiefly concerned with mathematical topics.
