This glossary of physics is a list of definitions of terms and concepts relevant to physics, its sub-disciplines, and related fields, including mechanics, materials science, nuclear physics, particle physics, and thermodynamics.
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.
This is a list of common physical constants and variables, and their notations. Note that bold text indicates that the quantity is a vector.
