1. Conservation of Energy: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can change forms.
2. The Laws of Thermodynamics: The first law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; the second law states that entropy always increases over time.
3. Electricity and Magnetism: Electricity is the flow of electrons while magnetism is the force between magnetic poles.
4. Quantum Mechanics: Quantum mechanics explains how particles interact with each other at an atomic level.
5. Thermodynamics: This branch of physics describes how heat and work transfer within a system.
