ans Christian rsted (oIten rendered Oersted in English; 14 August 1777 9 March 1851) was a Danish
physicist and chemist who discovered that electric currents create magnetic Iields, an important aspect oI
electromagnetism. He shaped post-Kantian philosophy and advances in science throughout the late 19th century.

The Oersted (Oe), the cgs unit oI magnetic H-Iield strength, is named aIter him.
Charles ard Townes (born July 28, 1915) is an American Nobel Prize-winning physicist and educator. Townes is
known Ior his work on the theory and application oI the maser, on which he got the Iundamental patent, and other
work in quantum electronics connected with both maser and laser devices. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in
1964 with Nikolay Basov and Alexander Prokhorov. The Japanese FM Towns computer and game console is named
in his honour.
1ohannes Kepler (German pronunciation: |kpl|; December 27, 1571 November 15, 1630) was a German
mathematician, astronomer and astrologer. A key Iigure in the 17th century scientiIic revolution, he is best known
Ior his eponymous laws oI planetary motion, codiIied by later astronomers, based on his works Astronomia nova,
Harmonices Mundi, and Epitome of Copernican Astronomy. These works also provided one oI the Ioundations Ior
Isaac Newton's theory oI universal gravitation.
Ohm began his research with the recently-invented electrochemical cell, invented by Italian Count Alessandro
Volta. Using equipment oI his own creation, Ohm determined that there is a direct proportionality between the
potential diIIerence (voltage) applied across a conductor and the resultant electric current. This relationship is
known as Ohm's law.
The Danish astronomer Ole Christensen #2er made the Iirst quantitative measurement oI the speed oI light in the
year 1676.

He is known Ior Boyle's law, which states that the pressure and volume oI gas at a constant temperature have an
inversely proportional relationship (in France it is known as Mariotte's law, Ior Edme Mariotte).

1. In physics, classical 2echanics is one oI the two major sub-Iields oI mechanics, which is concerned with
the set oI physical laws describing the motion oI bodies under the action oI a system oI Iorces. The study oI
the motion oI bodies is an ancient one, making classical mechanics one oI the oldest and largest subjects in
science, engineering and technology.
2. Electromagnetism is the Iorce that causes the interaction between electrically charged particles; the areas in
which this happens are called electromagnetic Iields.Electromagnetism is responsible Ior practically all the
phenomena encountered in daily liIe, with the exception oI gravity.
3. Ther2odyna2ics is a physical science that studies the eIIects on material bodies, and on radiation in
regions oI space, oI transIer oI heat and oI work done on or by the bodies or radiation. It interrelates
macroscopic variables, such as temperature, volume and pressure, which describe physical properties oI
material bodies and radiation, which in this science are called thermodynamic systems.
4. "uantu2 2echanics, also known as 6uantu2 physics or 6uantu2 theory, is a theory oI physics
providing a mathematical description oI the interaction oI matter and energy. The theory was developed in
1925 by Werner Heisenberg.

Quantum mechanics describes the time evolution oI physical systems via a
mathematical structure called the wave Iunction.
5. The general theory oI relativity is the correct theory, which describes gravitation at all scales. It interprets
gravity not as a Iorce, but as a consequence oI the curvature oI space-time. Space around massive objects
actually gets warped and bent. Gravity is the result oI this warping oI space time. Special relativity uniIies
space and time in to 'Spacetime' and general relativity makes 'Spacetime' interact with matter. How much
space warps, depends on the content oI matter and energy in it. In simple words, general relativity is
described by, 'Matter tells space how to bend, space tells matter how to move!' For more read 'Does the
Fourth(4th) Dimension oI Time Exist'.
