Ohms Law 

Georg Simon Ohm was a German physicist and mathematician. As a school teacher, Ohm began his research with the new electrochemical cell, invented by Italian scientist Alessandro Volta. Using equipment of his own creation, Ohm found that there is a direct proportionality between the potential difference (voltage) applied across a conductor and the resultant electric current. This relation is called Ohm's law, and the ohm, the unit of electrical resistance, is named after him.

Watt's law

Watt's law defines the relationship between power, voltage and current and states that the power in a circuit is a product of the voltage and the current. There are many practical applications of Watt's law, and the formula to calculate Watt's Law is P = IV.

Watt's law was invented by James Watt, an engineer born in Scotland in August 1819. His law is directly related to the development of the steam engine in 1769 and was patented and used in the first industrial revolution. Watt is an English word meaning "Watt". On the other hand, it is most commonly used to measure the power of systems. Power is the energy consumed or produced in a limited period. This law states that: "electrical power is directly proportional to the voltage of a circuit and the current flowing through it. "

Isaac Newton 

Newton's laws of motion are three laws that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. These laws, which provide the basis for Newtonian mechanics, can be paraphrased as follows:

  1. A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force.
  2. The net force on a body is equal to the body's acceleration multiplied by its mass or, equivalently, the rate at which the body's momentum changes with time.
  3. If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions.

Blaise Pascal 

Pascal's principle (also known as Pascal's law) states that when a change in pressure is applied to an enclosed fluid, it is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container.

Fluid dynamics

His work in the fields of hydrodynamics and hydrostatics centered on the principles of hydraulic fluids. His inventions include the hydraulic press (using hydraulic pressure to multiply force) and the syringe. He proved that hydrostatic pressure depends not on the weight of the fluid but on the elevation difference. He demonstrated this principle by attaching a thin tube to a barrel full of water and filling the tube with water up to the level of the third floor of a building. This caused the barrel to leak, in what became known as Pascal's barrel experiment.

Daniel Bernoulli

In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy. The principle is named after Daniel Bernoulli, a swiss mathemetician, who published it in 1738 in his book Hydrodynamics.

In other words, Bernoulli's principle states that the higher the velocity of a fluid, the lower the pressure. Bernoulli's principle can be applied to explain the operation of the wing of an airplane. The difference in the shape of the top and bottom of the wing influences the speed of the air flowing over the wing.
