Archimedes’ Principle: It states that a body, when
immersed in a liquid, experiences an upward thrust equal to the weight
of the liquid displaced by it.
Avogadro’s Hypothesis: It is a modification of
Berzelius’ hypothesis. It states that equal volumes of all gases under
similar conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal number of
molecules. Avogadro’s law is applicable only to gases.
Boyle’s Law: states that the volume of certain gas is
inversely proportional to the pressure at a constant temperature. In
other words the product of pressure and volume remains constant provided
the temperature is kept constant i.e., P x V = a constant if T remains
the same.
Charles’s Law: It states that at constant pressure all
gases expand by 1/273 of their volume at 0°C for a rise in temperature
of 1°C i.e., the volume of a given mass of gas at constant pressure is
directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
Coulomb’s law:
The force between the two electric charges reduces to a quarter of its former value when the distance between them is doubled.
Dulong and Petit’s Law: states that the product of
atomic weight and specific heat of solid elements is nearly equal to 6.4
i.e., At wt. x sp. heat = 6.4 approx.
Gay-Lussac’s Law of combining volumes: Gases react
together in volumes which bear simple whole number ratios to one another
and also to the volumes of the products, if gaseous—all the volumes
being measured under similar conditions of temperature and pressure.
Graham’s Law of Diffusion: states that the
rates of diffusion of gases are inversely proportional to the square
roots of their densities under similar conditions of temperature and
pressure.
Kepler’s Law: According to this law, a line drawn from
the sun to a planet, moving around it, sweeps over a fixed area in a
given interval of time.
Law of definite proportions: A chemical compound is always found to be made up of the same elements combined together in the same ratio by weight.
Law of Floatation: for a body to float, the following
conditions must be fulfilled: (1) The weight of the body should be equal
to the weight of the water displaced. (2) The centre of gravity of the
body and that of the liquid displaced should be in the same straight
line.
Law of conservation of matter:
In chemical changes, matter is neither created nor destroyed. The sum
total of the masses of all the products of a chemical change is exactly
equal to the sum total of the substances from which these products have
been formed.
Laws of thermodynamics:
The amount of heat given to a system is equal to the sum of the increase
in the internal energy of the system and the external work done. It is
impossible to construct a continuous self-acting machine that can pump
heat energy from a body at lower temperature to a body at higher
temperature.
Lenz’s Law: When there is change in the magnetic flux
linked with a circuit, the electric current induced in the circuit will
have a magnetic field opposing the change producing it.
Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation: states that
“Every portion of matter attracts or tends to approach every other
portion of matter in the universe with a force proportional to the
masses and inversely as the square of the distance.”
Newton’s First Law of Motion: “A body continues in its
state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled
by an external force to change that state.”
Newton’s Second Law of Motion: “The rate of change of momentum is proportional to the impressed force and takes place in the direction of the force.”
Newton’s Third Law of Motion: “To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
Newton’s Law of Cooling: states that the rate of loss of heat of a hot
body is directly proportional to the difference of temperature between
the body and the surroundings and is independent of the nature of the
body.
Ohm’s Law: states that the ratio of the potential
difference between the ends of a conductor and the current flowing in
the conductor is constant, e.g., for a potential difference of E volts
and a current I amperes, the resistance R, in ohms is equal to E/I.
Principle of conservation of energy: It states that, in any system, energy cannot be created or destroyed; the sum of mass and energy remains constant.
Snell’s Law: It states that the ratio of the sine of
angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction remains
constant for any two given media.
Specific heat of substance: The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram. of a substance through 1°C.
