Will we ever plot force-against-surface area graphs?

AI Thread Summary
Force-against-surface area graphs are not commonly plotted because the relationship lacks practical significance. Instead, force versus distance graphs are utilized to calculate work, which is essential for understanding energy conservation. The discussion highlights that while force multiplied by surface area doesn't yield meaningful insights, force per surface area is defined as pressure. The focus remains on the importance of energy and its corresponding states in physics. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the relevance of established relationships in physics over less significant ones.

You might, but I don't. We do plot force vs. distance graphs, because of the formula
Work = Force x distance
so we can use them to determine the work (which is important because work is energy, and we know a lot about energy; for example that it is conserved and what energies correspond to certain states of objects). Force x surface area, on the other hand, isn't really anything, as far as I know. Force per surface area is, and it is called pressure

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing ,
The core is PLA material (3d printed)
The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm
Why don't other large moons in our solar system have atmospheres like Titan?
