N (physics symbol)
For other uses, see N (disambiguation).

In general, n or N is a common symbol to use in mathematical equations to stand for a count or value.

In physics, n may refer to the recommended symbol for:

In physics, N may refer to the recommended symbol for:

  • number of molecules (molecular physics)
  • turning number (electricity and magnetism)
  • neutron number (atomic and nuclear physics)
  • total angular quantum momentum number (molecular spectroscopy).
  • N, in Brillouin zone, the center of a face of a body-centered cubic lattice
