• Ampère's law – André-Marie Ampère
• Avogadro's law – Amedeo Avogadro
• Bernoulli's principle – Daniel Bernoulli
• Boyle's law – Robert Boyle
• Buys-Ballot's law – C.H.D. Buys Ballot
• Church-Turing-Deutsch principle – Alonzo Church, Alan TuringAlan Mathison Turing ( June 23, 1912 June 7, 1954) was a British mathematician, logician, and cryptographer, and is considered to be one of the fathers of modern computer science. He provided an influential formalisation of the concept of algorithm and co, David DeutschDavid Deutsch (born 1953) is a physicist at Oxford University. He pioneered the field of quantum computers, and was a founder of the Taking Children Seriously movement. He is a proponent of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. He was award
• Coulomb's lawIn physics, Coulomb's law is an inverse-square law indicating the magnitude and direction of electrical force that one stationary, electrically charged substance of small volume (ideally, a point source) exerts on another. When one is interested only in t – Charles Augustin de Coulomb
• Law of Charles and Gay-LussacThe Law of Charles and Gay-Lussac (frequently called simply Charles' Law is one of the gas laws, and relates the volume and temperature of an ideal gas held at a constant pressure. The law was first published by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1802, but he ref (frequently called simply Charles' Law) – Jacques CharlesJacques Charles ( 1746- 1823) was a French chemist who developed the theory of Charles' Law around 1787. Charles did not publish his theory; it was published by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1802. Charles also created the first balloon filled with hydrogen, and Joseph Louis Gay-LussacJoseph-Louis Gay-Lussac ( December 6, 1778 May 10, 1850) was a French chemist and physicist. He is known mostly for two laws related to gases. Gay-Lussac was born at St Leonard, in the department of Limoges. He received his early education at home and in
