Physics is the branch of science that deals with the fundamental principles that govern the physical world, including mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics. This overview aims to provide a concise introduction to the field of physics.
Basic Concepts
- Mechanics: The study of motion and its causes.
- Thermodynamics: The study of heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work.
- Electromagnetism: The study of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions.
- Quantum Mechanics: The study of the behavior of particles at the smallest scales.
Notable Physicists
- Isaac Newton: Known for his laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation.
- Albert Einstein: Famous for his theory of relativity and the famous equation E=mc².
- Marie Curie: A pioneer in radioactivity research and the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.
