List of laws in science
This is a list of physical laws discovered by science.
- Boyle's Law (pressure and volume of ideal gas)
- Charles & Gay-Lussac (gases expand equally with the same change of temperature)
- Dulong-Petit law (specific heat capacity at constant volume)
- E = mc2 (Energy = mass × speed of light2)
- Laws of Kepler (planetary motion )
- Beer-Lambert (light absorption )
-
Newton
- Newton's laws of motion (inertia, F = ma, action and reaction)
- Law of heat conduction
- General law of gravitation (universal gravitation force)
- V = IR
- Kirchhoff's Laws (current and voltage laws)
