Visualizing Physics Core Principles Made Clear

These 6 sources illustrate foundational principles in physics, primarily focusing on conservation laws, vector fields, and thermodynamic distinctions. The behavior of vector flux is fundamentally determined only by the component of the current density vector that is perpendicular to the surface, resulting in zero flux when the vector is entirely tangential. Conservation of momentum in a closed system, such as a two-body collision, is demonstrated as a direct consequence of Newton's third law (action/reaction), ensuring the system's total momentum is preserved because the equal and opposite internal forces result in a zero net internal force. Mass conservation principles are applied to fluid dynamics, showing that in steady flow, the cross-sectional area of a fluid stream must decrease inversely as its velocity increases to maintain a constant mass flow rate; this principle extends to the continuity equation, where changes in local concentration must balance convective transport across boundaries with the rate of internal material generation or destruction. Regarding material properties, intensive properties, such as density, remain absolutely constant regardless of the system's size, while extensive properties, such as total mass, scale linearly and increase directly in proportion to the system's volume. Finally, the electrical behavior of conductors is explained by a rapid self-correction process, where any net charge introduced inside the material must instantaneously dissipate and move to the surface, driven by the charge relaxation time, which is typically extremely short for metals.
