... If you wish to get the maximum power transfer from, say a battery to an electrical appliance, what sort of resistance should the appliance have? At first sight a small resistance seems sensible, because then a large current will flow, but unfortunately drawing a large current from a supply lowers it ...

... Quantum Theory Different situations for the electron, like being in the hydrogen atom, will show up in Schrodinger’s Equation in the PE part. Different PE functions (like PE = -ke2/r for the hydrogen atom) will cause the solution to Schrodinger’s equation to be different, just like different PE fun ...

Newton`s Third Law. Multi-particle systems
... The particles whiz around with various time dependent positions, velocities and even accelerations, but the total momentum does not change in time. The above computation shows that Newton’s third law implies conservation of momentum for a closed system. It also shows that if all interparticle forces ...

History of physics
Physics (from the Ancient Greek φύσις physis meaning ""nature"") is the fundamental branch of science that developed out of the study of nature and philosophy known, until around the end of the 19th century, as ""natural philosophy"". Today, physics is ultimately defined as the study of matter, energy and the relationships between them. Physics is, in some senses, the oldest and most basic pure science; its discoveries find applications throughout the natural sciences, since matter and energy are the basic constituents of the natural world. The other sciences are generally more limited in their scope and may be considered branches that have split off from physics to become sciences in their own right. Physics today may be divided loosely into classical physics and modern physics.
