This is one of the most fundamental branches of physics which studies objects in a state of oscillation or vibration, being in a constate state of motion which may be linear or to &fro. On the other hand, Electronics simply refers to the branch of physics where they study applications of electricity and how it works on various appliances and new pieces of technology.Īs mentioned above, magnetism and electricity are quite interrelated with each other, and that is because movements of electrical charges end up creating magnetic fields while manipulation of magnetic fields renders to the production of electricity.Įlectromagnetism refers to the study of the magnetic forces and fields that are created via the movements of electrical charges and vice versa. While electricity refers to the branch of physics which is concerned with the study of properties and movements of electrically charged particles of an object, including on a much deeper level, i.e., of electrons and protons, it also explores the various concepts of electricity such as, resistance, current, AC and DC, and happens to be quite entangled with the branch magnetism, which we are going to discuss next.

Its concepts like these make it one of the most interesting branches of physics.Įlectricity and electronics are two different branches of physics but very close to each other, hence we decided to put them in the same category. It also studies how these magnetic fields react when they come in contact with different forces like the gravitational field and electric field, or how magnets are made, to begin with, and how or if they lose their properties over time or not. This is exactly what is studied here, i.e., the forces exerted by magnets when they attract or repel one another. It’s no secret to us that magnetic forces act in two directions, i.e., South and North. Magnetism explores the properties of a magnet and how magnetic forces and fields act or react when they interact with other forces or even each other. Hence, we are not considering Quantum Physics as one of the most popular branches of physics within this article. However, as per a few definitions, Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that provides a description of the physical properties of nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. Like relativity, quantum mechanics has been shown to be valid-the truth is often stranger than fiction.Īpart from Quantum Physics, Atomic Physics and Molecular Physics are also important subfields. Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics needed to deal with submicroscopic objects. Mechanics is one of the sub-fields of Quantum Physics. While classical mechanics focus on the laws of motions and how they affect material objects on the other hand, quantum mechanics focuses on how these forces mentioned thereof act on the smallest of the particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons.’ Quite ironically, this branch of physics further has sub-branches, namely classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. Mechanics explores the different concepts of physics such as force, matter, and motion and studies its laws, properties, and applications. One of the most basic and fundamental branches of classical physics, mechanics is concerned with the study of movements and motions of material objects and how these objects are affected by and interact with other different forces. Let’s start breaking it down, one at a time!
