List of laws in science

This is a list of physical laws discovered by science. Some might say that the only true "laws" of science are those of the scientific method.

Boyle's Law (pressure and volume of ideal gas)
Charles & Gay-Lussac (gases expand equally with the same change of temperature)
Dulong-Petit law c_V = 3R/M (specific heat capacity at constant volume)
Einstein
- Relativity 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)
- General law of gravitation F_g = G m₁ m₂/r² (universal gravitation force)
- Law of heat conduction
Coulomb's law (F = q₁q₂/4πε₀r²)
Ohm's Law (V = I R)
Kirchhoff's Laws (current and voltage laws)
Maxwell's equations (electric and magnetic fields: in vacuum ·E = 0, ·B = 0, ×E = -∂B/∂t, ×B = c^-2∂E/∂t)
Poiseuille's law Φ_V = (π r⁴/8 η)(Δp^*/l) (voluminal laminar stationary[?] flow of incompressible uniform viscous liquid through a cylindrical tube with the constant circular cross-section)
Radiation laws
- Planck's Law of Radiation (spectral density in a radiation of a blackbody)
- Stefan-Boltzmann law j^* = σ T⁴ (total radiation from a blackbody)
- Wien's law λ₀ T = k_W (wavelength of the peak of the emission of a blackbody)
Thermodynamics
