- Biot-Savart's law [r]: Gives the magnetic field at some distance of an electric current-carrying wire. [e]
- Charles-Augustin de Coulomb [r]: (Angoulême June 14, 1736 – Paris August 23, 1806) French physicist known for formulating a law for the force between two electrically charged bodies. [e]
- Christiaan Huygens [r]: (14 April 1629 - 8 June 1695) an internationally renowned Dutch mathematician, physicist and astronomer. [e]
- Coulomb's law [r]: An inverse-square distance law, like Newton's gravitational law, describing the forces acting between electric point charges; also valid for the force between magnetic poles. [e]
- Gauss' law (electrostatics) [r]: Relates the surface integral of the electric displacement through a closed surface to the electric charge enveloped by the closed surface. [e]
- Gravitation [r]: The tendency of objects with mass to accelerate toward each other. [e]
- Isaac Newton [r]: (1642–1727) English physicist and mathematician, best known for his elucidation of the universal theory of gravitation and his development of calculus. [e]
- Power law [r]: A mathematical relationship between two quantities where one is proportional to a power of the other: that is, of the form
where 
and 
are constants, with being referred to as the exponent. [e]
