   Laws and Theorems

Isaac Newton's laws:

​

1st "Every body remains in its state of rest or uniform movement in a straight line, unless it is forced to change that state by forces applied on it."

​

2nd "The change in movement is proportional to the printed motor force and is produced in the direction of a straight line in which that force is applied."

FR - Resulting force (N or kg.m / s²)
m - body mass (kg)
a - acceleration (m / s²)

​

3rd "Every action has an opposite reaction and of equal intensity: the mutual actions of two bodies on each other are always the same and directed in opposite directions."

​

Pythagorean theorem:

"The sum of the opposite sides is equal to the square hypotenuse."

Origin of formula:

​

C1² + C2² = H²

​

It applies to the sum of powers:

PT² = PA² + PR²

Where:

PT = Total Power

PA = Active Power

PR = Reactive Power

 

Ohm's laws:

1st "In an electrical conductor of constant resistance, maintained at a constant temperature, the intensity of the electric current will be proportional to the potential difference applied between its ends."

Origin of formula: I = V / R

And conclusions for the following formulas:

Where:

R = Resistance measured in Ohms

P = Power measured in Watts

I = Current measured in Amps

V = Voltage measured in Volts

​

2nd "The electrical resistance of a material is directly proportional to its length, inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area."

Where:

R: resistance (Ω)
ρ: conductivity resistivity (depends on the material and its temperature, measured in Ω.m)
L: length (m)
A: cross-sectional area (mm²)

 

Kirchhoff's laws:

1st Law of Nodes: "The sum of the currents that arrive at a node is equal to the sum of the currents that leave it."

​

2nd Mesh Law: “When we run through a mesh in a given direction, the algebraic sum of the potential differences is equal to zero.”
