Question
Briefly explain how physics is related to technology.
✓

Answer

Progress in the field of science and technology is interrelated. Sometimes technology gives rise to new physics and at other times physics generates new technology. The discipline of thermodynamics arose mainly to understand and improve the working of heat engines. Similarly discovery of basic laws of electricity and magnetism led to development of wireless communication technology. Therefore, we can conclude that physics and technology are closely related.
