- Talk of ‘|aws of nature' generally crops up in science. This shou|dn’t be surprising: the who/e point of science, we are often told, to find out what the laws of nature are. Here are a few of examples of laws drawn from the science GCSE (?) curriculum: - Boy/es law: the volume (V) of a fixed quantity of gas is linearly proportional to its pressure (p) (pV = k, where k is a constant). - Ohm 's Law: the potential difference (V) across a conductor is linearly proportional to the intensity (I) of the current running through it (V=IR, where R is a constant corresponding to the resistance of the conductor) - Newtons Hrst Law: A uniformly moving object will continue moving in a straight line at constant speed and a stationary object will remain at rest, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
