High School Physics Problem and Solving: in studying Physics, a lot of symbols or symbols are used; both Latin letters in Uppercase and lowercase letters include Greek letters . This happens because Physics is the study of phenomena or phenomena that occur in the universe which are full of symbols.
Here are some alphabets / letters used as symbols in physics:
A. Latin letters:
- Uppercase A is used for the electric current unit symbol, Ampere (A), while a lowercase is used for the acceleration symbol (a).
- Uppercase B is used for the magnetic induction field symbol (B)
- Uppercase C units of electric charge are Coulomb (C); while c lowercase is used for the speed of light symbol ( $c = 3 x 10^8$ m/s ).
- Uppercase D letters are used for displacement electric field symbols, while d lowercase symbols are used for distance symbols
- Uppercase e is used for the symbol Energy, electric field, while lowercase e is used for the symbol of electric charge ( $e = 1.6 x 10^{-19}$C )
- Uppercase F is used for the Style symbol, while lowercase f is used for the frequency symbol.
- Uppercase G is used for Newton's gravitational constant symbol while lowercase g is used for the acceleration symbol of gravity.
- Uppercase H is used for the magnetic field symbol due to electric current, Henry's unit symbol is for inductance, while lowercase h is used for the Planck constant symbol.
- Uppercase I is used for the symbol Electric current, Intensity.
- An Uppercase J letter is used for the Joule symbol, the unit of energy and also for the symbol of the electric current density.
- k lowercase letters are usually used as constants, for example static electricity constant Coulomb's law, Boltzman's thermodynamic constant.
- Uppercase L is used for angular momentum symbols, while lowercase L is used for orbital quantum number symbols and is used for long scale symbols.
- Uppercase M is used for magnetization symbols, while lowercase m is used for mass and meter symbols.
- Uppercase N is used for the Newton symbol, the unit of force and also the number of particles symbol, while the lowercase n is used for the main quantum number symbol.
- This O is not used, except for Uppercase letters for the symbol of the 5th electron path. ask why?
- Uppercase P is used for the Power symbol, while lowercase P is used for the pressure symbol; electric polarization; electric dipole moment and linear momentum.
- Uppercase Q is used for the thermodynamic heat symbol, while lowercase q is used for the electric charge symbol.
- Uppercase R is usually used for the radius of the circle (radius) and distance (range).
- Uppercase S is used for entropy symbols, while lowercase s is used for seconds and spin quantum physics.
- Uppercase T is used for period symbols; temperature, the unit for the Tesla magnetic induction field (T), while the lowercase t is used for the time symbol.
- Uppercase U is used for the Energy symbol
- Uppercase V is used for symbols of magnitudes and units of electric voltage (Voltage and Volt) and potential in general, while lowercase v is used for speed symbols.
- Uppercase W is used for the Work symbol and Watt power unit.
- Z together with Y, Z is used for coordinates
- Y for Young's modulus;
- Z nuclear physics, states the number of protons in the nucleus.
- α (alpha): symbol for the Alpha particle or Helium core and also expresses the angular acceleration in circular motion.
- β (beta), γ (gamma): A type of nuclear radiation, together with α. in special relativity, γ means the Lorentz factor.
- δ (delta): Dirac delta function.
- ε (epsilon): electric permittivity constant.
- η (eta): Means efficiency.
- θ (theta): States the Angle.
- κ (kappa): Bulk Modulus.
- λ (lambda): Wavelength; electric charge density per unit length.
- μ (mu): Magnetic moment. Also used to express magnetic permeability.
- ν (nu): Frequency.
- ξ (xi): One type of baryon is named after its Uppercase (Ξ)
- π (pi): In addition to numbers 3.1415926535 ... also for parity related to symmetry.
- ρ (rho): Density of mass or electric charge per unit volume, also electrical resistivity (type resistor).
- σ (sigma): Electrical conductivity; electric charge density per unit area. Also for Stevan-Boltzmann constants.
- τ (know): Torque.
- φ (phi): in capital letters (Φ) means magnetic flux.
- χ (chi): Susceptibility. χm for magnets and χe for electricity.
- ψ (psi): in quantum physics, used to express the wave function, which states the state.
- ω (omega): Angular velocity. Its Uppercase letter , Ω, for Ohm.
