    Kirchhoff's circuit laws. Also called Kirchhoff's rules or simply Kirchhoff's laws. Two approximate equalities that deal with the current and voltage in electrical circuits. See Kirchhoff's laws for other meanings of the term. Kirchhoff's equations In fluid dynamics, a set of equations which describe the motion of a rigid body in an ideal fluid

  3. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    Bernoulli's principle is a key concept in fluid dynamics that relates pressure, density, speed and height. Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a parcel of fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in either the pressure or the height above a datum. [1]:

    Bosons are particles with integer spin (s = 0, 1, 2, ... ). They can either be elementary (like photons) or composite (such as mesons, nuclei or even atoms). There are five known elementary bosons: the four force carrying gauge bosons γ (photon), g , Z and W , as well as the Higgs boson. Fermions

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle

    Canonical commutation rule for position q and momentum p variables of a particle, 1927.pq − qp = h/(2πi).Uncertainty principle of Heisenberg, 1927. The uncertainty principle, also known as Heisenberg's indeterminacy principle, is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics.

  7. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    Famous 19th century electrodynamicist James Clerk Maxwell called this the "electromagnetic momentum". [10] Yet, such a treatment of fields may be necessary when Lenz's law is applied to opposite charges. It is normally assumed that the charges in question have the same sign. If they do not, such as a proton and an electron, the interaction is ...

    where r 0 and t 0 represent shifts in the origin of space and time, and v is the relative velocity of the two inertial reference frames. Under Galilean transformations, the time t 2 − t 1 between two events is the same for all reference frames and the distance between two simultaneous events (or, equivalently, the length of any object, | r 2 ...

  9. Triple product rule - Wikipedia

    Suppose a function f(x, y, z) = 0, where x, y, and z are functions of each other. Write the total differentials of the variables = + = + Substitute dy into dx = [() + ()] + By using the chain rule one can show the coefficient of dx on the right hand side is equal to one, thus the coefficient of dz must be zero () + = Subtracting the second term and multiplying by its inverse gives the triple ...
