Physics - Study Notes
Introduction
Physics is the study of matter, energy, and their interactions. It seeks to explain the fundamental
laws governing the universe.
Classical Mechanics
Deals with the motion of objects under forces. Key concepts: Newton's laws, momentum, energy,
and gravitation.
Thermodynamics
Studies heat, work, and energy transfer. Laws of thermodynamics explain entropy, efficiency, and
equilibrium.
Electromagnetism
Explores electric and magnetic fields, Maxwell’s equations, and applications like circuits and
motors.
Modern Physics
Includes quantum mechanics and relativity. Explains atomic structure, nuclear physics, and particle
physics.
Applications
Physics underpins technology such as electronics, renewable energy, medical imaging, and space
exploration.
Conclusion
Physics provides a foundation for understanding nature and advancing technology, linking theory
with practical applications.
