A Physics Student's Alphabet

A is for acceleration, or for Area.
B is for magnetic fields. (To quote my high school Physics teacher: "E stands for electric field, so obviously B stands for magnetic field.")
c is for the speed of light, 3 x 10^8 m/s.
d is for the distance between slits in a double-slit experiment.
E is for electric field, or the elementary charge.
F is for force, or Farads.
G is for the gravitational constant, or for the acceleration due to gravity close to the Earth's surface, 9.8 m/s^2.
h is for the depth of a fluid, or Henrys.
I is for current, or for inertia, or for imaginary numbers.
J is for joule.
K is for degrees Kelvin, or for the electrostatic constant.
l is for length, a quantity used in many physics equations, or angular momentum.
m is for mass, or an integer used in light interference problems.
n is for Newtons, or for the index of refraction of a material. Go Snell's Law!
O is for Ohms (even though ohms are abbreviated with a capital omega).
P is for power, or for momentum.
Q is for charge, or for heat.
R is for resistance, or for the radius of an object, or for distance.
S is for the surface area of an object, or for the integral symbol.
T is for torque, or temperature in thermodynamics problems, or the period of an object in simple harmonic motion, or for time, or for Teslas.
U is for internal energy, or for potential energy.
V is for Volts, or for velocity, or volume.
W is for Watts, or for work done on/by a system.
X is for the distance between bright/dark fringes in a light interference experiment.
Y is for... shoot. There is no Y. Does gamma work as a substitute?
Z is for the last letter of the Greek alphabet, which is Omega. This is the same symbol used to represent Ohms when it's capitalized, or angular velocity when it's a lowercase letter. (I was stretching just a bit for that one.)

And what have we learned from this? That Physics has way too many variables and constants.
