Physics Name Your
physics name is your initials expressed as the physical quantities for which
the letters stand. Does your physics name contain truths about your nature or
destiny? I’ll consult my horoscope to find the answer. Below are selected
possible physics names of the major candidates for President of the United
States in 2012, followed by the key to use to determine your physics name.
For example, if your initials were “I. M.,” you would find I = current or
intensity, and M = mass. Your physics name would be “Current Mass” or “Intensity
Mass.” Barack
Hussein Obama II—Magnetic Field Hamiltonian Order II Willard
Mitt Romney—Work Mass Resistance Richard
John Santorum—Resistance Current Density Action Ronald
Ernest Paul—Resistance Energy Power Newton
Leroy Gingrich—Particle Number Inductance Gravitational Constant or Particle
Number Inductance Gibbs Free Energy James
Richard Perry—Current Density Resistance Power Jon
Meade Huntsman, Jr.—Current Density Mass Hamiltonian, Jr. Charles
Elson Roemer III—Capacitance Energy Resistance III A—vector
potential, area, or amplitude B—magnetic
field C—heat
capacity or capacitance D—density
of states E—energy
or electric field F—force
or Helmholtz free energy G—gravitational
constant or Gibbs free energy H—enthalpy
or Hamiltonian I—current
or intensity J—current
density K—Kelvin L—inductance,
angular momentum, or Lagrangian M—mass N—particle
number O—order P—power Q—heat
or electric charge R—resistance
or gas constant S—entropy
or action T—temperature
or period U—potential
energy or internal energy V—voltage
or volume W—work X—extensive
parameter Y—spherical
harmonic Z—impedance
or partition function |

Note
that since initials are in upper case, no physical quantities represented by
lower case letters, such as momentum (p) and position (x), are used. Mass is
sometimes represented by a capital em, especially
when two masses appear in the same equation. References http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_variables
