This is a list of common physical constants and variables, and their notations. Note that bold text indicates that the quantity is a vector.
5 maj 2023 · In physics, the letter μ is commonly used to represent the coefficient of friction and magnetic permeability. The coefficient of friction refers to the ratio of the frictional force (F) resisting the motion of two surfaces that are in contact to the normal force (N) that’s pressing the two surfaces together.

7 maj 2024 · Physics Symbols are the notations in Greek, Latin and English alphabets to express different physical quantities. There are specific symbols used for representing some universal constants. They are also used in calculations, derivations, etc. The symbols are standardized by the International System of Quantities (ISQ).
14 maj 2024 · Lowercase letter “u” is often substituted for “μ” when the Greek character is not typographically available; for example the unit “microfarad”, correctly “μF”, is often rendered as “uF” or “ufarad” in technical documents. What is the U shaped symbol in math? ∪ The symbol ∪ means union. What do you call this symbol Σ?
