Examples of Law in the following topics:
-
- Gauss's law is a law relating the distribution of electric charge to the resulting electric field.
- Gauss's law can be used to derive Coulomb's law, and vice versa.
- In fact, Gauss's law does hold for moving charges, and in this respect Gauss's law is more general than Coulomb's law.
- Gauss's law has a close mathematical similarity with a number of laws in other areas of physics, such as Gauss's law for magnetism and Gauss's law for gravity.
- In fact, any "inverse-square law" can be formulated in a way similar to Gauss's law: For example, Gauss's law itself is essentially equivalent to the inverse-square Coulomb's law, and Gauss's law for gravity is essentially equivalent to the inverse-square Newton's law of gravity.

- Law of the United States was mainly derived from the common law system of English law.
- At both the federal and state levels, the law of the United States was mainly derived from the common law system of English law , which was in force at the time of the Revolutionary War.
- American judges, like common law judges elsewhere, not only apply the law, they also make the law.
- As a result, the laws of any given state invariably differ from the laws of its sister states.
- Instead, it must be regarded as 50 separate systems of tort law, family law, property law, contract law, criminal law, and so on.
-
- Criminal law is the body of law that relates to crime and civil law deals with disputes between organizations and individuals.
- Criminal law is the body of law that relates to crime.
- Criminal law also sets out the punishment to be imposed on people who do not obey these laws.
- The law relating to civil wrongs and quasi-contract is part of civil law.
- The objectives of civil law are different from other types of law.
-
- The primary sources of American Law are: constitutional law, statutory law, treaties, administrative regulations, and the common law.
- These sources are constitutional law, statutory law, treaties, administrative regulations, and the common law.
- At both the federal and state levels, the law of the United States was originally largely derived from the common law system of English law, which was in force at the time of the Revolutionary War.
- Thus, most U.S. law consists primarily of state law, which can and does vary greatly from one state to the next.
- First, all U.S. states except Louisiana have enacted "reception statutes" which generally state that the common law of England (particularly judge-made law) is the law of the state to the extent that it is not repugnant to domestic law or indigenous conditions.
-
- The law of multiple proportions states that elements combine in small whole number ratios to form compounds.
- The law of multiple proportions, also known as Dalton's law, was proposed by the English chemist and meteorologist John Dalton in his 1804 work, A New System of Chemical Philosophy.
- The law, which was based on Dalton's observations of the reactions of atmospheric gases, states that when elements form compounds, the proportions of the elements in those chemical compounds can be expressed in small whole number ratios.
- Dalton's law of multiple proportions is part of the basis for modern atomic theory, along with Joseph Proust's law of definite composition (which states that compounds are formed by defined mass ratios of reacting elements) and the law of conservation of mass that was proposed by Antoine Lavoisier.
- These laws paved the way for our current understanding of atomic structure and composition, including concepts like molecular or chemical formulas.
-
- The law of definite composition states that chemical compounds are composed of a fixed ratio of elements as determined by mass.
- In 1806, Proust summarized his observations in what is now called Proust's Law.
- There are some exceptions to the law of definite composition.
- In addition, the law of definite composition does not account for isotopic mixtures.
- This video examines the law of definite proportions and the law of multiple proportions.

-
- The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed.
- However, Antoine Lavoisier described the law of conservation of mass (or the principle of mass/matter conservation) as a fundamental principle of physics in 1789.
- This law was later amended by Einstein in the law of conservation of mass-energy, which describes the fact that the total mass and energy in a system remain constant.
- An additional useful application of this law is the determination of the masses of gaseous reactants and products.
- A portrait of Antoine Lavoisier, the scientist credited with the discovery of the law of conservation of mass.
-
- Zeroth law justifies the use of thermodynamic temperature, defined as the shared temperature of three designated systems at equilibrium.
- This law was postulated in the 1930s, after the first and second laws of thermodynamics had been developed and named.
- It is called the "zeroth" law because it comes logically before the first and second laws (discussed in Atoms on the 1st and 2nd laws).
- A brief introduction to the zeroth and 1st laws of thermodynamics as well as PV diagrams for students.
- Discuss how the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics justifies the use of thermodynamic temperature
-
- The law of supply states that there is a positive relationship between the quantity that suppliers are willing to sell and the price level.
- The law of supply is a fundamental principle of economic theory.
- An upward sloping supply curve, which is also the standard depiction of the supply curve, is the graphical representation of the law of supply.
- The law of supply in conjunction with the law of demand forms the basis for market conditions resulting in a price and quantity relationship at which both the price to quantity relationship of suppliers and demanders (consumers) are equal.
- The law of supply and the law of demand form the foundation for the establishment of an equilibrium--where the price to quantity combination for both suppliers and demanders are the same.
