In physics, mechanical
work is the amount of energy transferred by a force acting through a distance. Like energy, it is a scalar
quantity, with SI units of joules. The term work was first coined in the 1830s by the French mathematician
Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis.

In physics, energy, from energos, "active, working" is a scalar physical quantity that
describes the amount of work that can be performed by a force, an attribute of objects and systems that is subject
to a conservation law. Eight different forms of energy exist to explain all known natural phenomena. These forms
include (but are not limited to) kinetic, potential, thermal, gravitational, sound, light, elastic, and
electromagnetic energy. The forms of energy are often named after a related force.

In physics and thermodynamics, heat is the process of energy transfer from one body or system to another
due to a difference in temperature. In thermodynamics, the quantity TdS is used as a representative measure of the
(inexact) heat differential δQ, which is the absolute temperature of an object multiplied by the differential
quantity of a system's entropy measured at the boundary of the object. -

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
