List of physics mnemonics
This is a categorized list of physics mnemonics.
Work: formula
"Lots of Work makes me Mad!":
Work = Mad:
M=Mass
a=acceleration
d=distance[1]
Ideal gas law
"Pure Virgins Never Really Tire":
PV=nRT[1]
Gibb's free energy formula
"Good Honey Tastes Sweet":
(delta)G = H - T(delta)S.[2]
Ohm's Law
"Virgins Are Rare":
Volts = Amps x Resistance[1]

Once upon a time, the symbol E (for electromotive force) was used to designate voltages. Then,
every student learned the phrase ELI the ICE man as a reminder that:
For an inductive (L) circuit, the EMF (E) is ahead of the current (I)
While for a capactive circuit (C), the current (I) is ahead of the EMF (E).
And then they all lived happily ever after.[3]
Open and Short circuits
"There are zero COVS grazing in the field!"
This is a mnemonic to remember the useful fact that:
The Current through an Open circuit is always zero
The Voltage across a Short circuit is always zero
Order of rainbow colors
We can use the VIBGYOR (the visible light spectrum order)… but in reverse order R_O_Y_G_B_I_V
(in reverse VIBGYOR)
Richard of York gave battle in vain"
(red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).
Additionally, the fictitious name Roy G. Biv can be used as well.
(red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).
Speed of light
The phrase "We guarantee certainty, clearly referring to this light mnemonic." represents the
speed of light in meters per second through the number of letters in each word: 299,792,458.[4]
Electromagnetic spectrum
In the order of increasing frequency or decreasing wavelength of electromagnetic waves;
Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-Rays, Gamma Rays
