Laws Of Physics

Application of Laws Of Physics

By nature, laws of physics are stated facts which have been deduced and derived based on empirical observations. Simply put, the world around us works in a certain way, and physical laws are a way of classifying that “working.”

Physical laws are just conclusions drawn based on years (or however long it takes)  of scientific observations and experiments which are repeated over and over under different conditions to reach inferences which can be accepted worldwide. These are continuously validated by the scientific community over time.

Important Laws of Physics:

 Coulomb’s Law Avogadro’s Hypothesis Conservation Laws Archimedes’ Principle Biot-Savart Law Faraday’s Law Ampere’s Law Faraday’s Laws of Electrolysis Planck Equation Faraday’s law of induction Kirchhoff’s law Newton’s law of universal gravitation Kirchoff ‘s first law Bernoulli’s Equation Kirchoff’s second law Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics Gauss’ Law First law of thermodynamics Lenz’s Law Second law of thermodynamics Ohm’s Law Law of Equipartition of Energy Joule’s Laws Laws of reflection Brewster’s law Radioactive Decay Law Bragg’s Law Laws of Combination Doppler Effect Einstein Field Equation Stefan’s Law Stefan-Boltzmann Law Moseley’s Law Superposition Principle Laws of Photo Thermodynamic Laws Laws of Friction Uncertainty Principle Pascal’s Law Wave-Particle Duality Snell’s law Fermat’s Principle Boyle’s Law Huygens’ Principle Charles’ Law Ideal Gas Law Equivalence Principle Joule-Thomson Effect Curie-Weiss Law van der Waals force Curie’s Law Wiedemann-Franz Law Dalton’s Law of partial pressures Casimir Effect Hooke’s Law Continuity Equation Wein’s Displacement Law Peter Principle Newton’s Laws of motion Maxwell’s Equations Newton’s First law of motion Pascal’s Principle Newton’s Second law of motion Murphy’s Law Newton’s Third law of motion Mach Number Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum Electric Potential due to a Point charge

In the beginning, it was assumed that the earth was the center of the universe. Then it was hypothesized that our sun is the center of the universe. We now know that both these conclusions are wrong. The sun may be the center of our solar system, but it is not the center of the universe.

Another example is the odd behavior of the planet Mercury. Newton’s universal law of gravitation was able to explain all the other planets in the solar system but the orbit and rotational period of Mercury was a bit off, and for some time no one knew why. Einstein came to the rescue with his general theory of relativity later on.

The different properties of laws of physics which shed information about their nature is given below

• True, under specified conditions
• Universal and do not deviate anywhere in the universe
• Simple in terms of representation
• Absolute and unaffected by external factors
• Stable and appear to be unchanging
• Omnipresent and everything in the universe is compliant (in terms of observations)
• Conservative in terms of quantity
• Homogeneous in terms of space and time
• Theoretically reversible in time

Basic laws of physics that govern our universe can be categorized in two ways. Classical physics that deals with us, the surrounding environment and the observable universe around us. Apart from this, there is also atomic physics that deals with subatomic particles and their interactions (quantum mechanics).
