Ampère's law

Science; General science

A law of electromagnetism which expresses the contribution of a current element of length dl to the magnetic induction (flux density) B at a point near the current. Ampère's ...

Lenz's law

Science; General science

A law of electromagnetism which states that, whenever there is an induced electromotive force (emf) in a conductor, it is always in such a direction that the current it would ...

Boyle's law

Science; General science

A law of gases which states that at constant temperature the volume of a gas varies inversely with its pressure. This law, formulated by Robert Boyle (1627–1691), can also be ...

Planck's radiation law

Science; General science

A law of physics which gives the spectral energy distribution of the heat radiation emitted from a so-called blackbody at any temperature. Discovered by Max Planck early in the ...

Pascal's law

Science; General science

A law of physics which states that a confined fluid transmits externally applied pressure uniformly in all directions. Blaise Pascal, using the mercury-column barometer of ...

Biot-Savart law

Science; General science

A law of physics which states that the magnetic flux density (magnetic induction) near a long, straight conductor is directly proportional to the current in the conductor and ...

scattering layer

Science; General science

A layer of organisms in the sea which causes sound to scatter and returns echoes. Recordings by sonic devices of echoes from sound scatterers indicate that the scattering ...
