[[File:Ohm_law_mnemonic_principle.svg|thumb|upright|A [[Magic triangle (mathematics)|Magic Triangle]] image mnemonic – when the terms of [[Ohm's law]] are arranged in this configuration, covering the [[Equation#Parameters and unknowns|unknown]] gives the formula in terms of the remaining parameters.
<br />It can be adapted to similar equations e.g.
[[Newton's laws of motion#Newton's second law|{{nowrap|1=''F'' = ''ma''}}]],
[[Wavelength#Sinusoidal waves|{{nowrap|1=''v'' = ''fλ''}}]],
[[Specific heat capacity|{{nowrap|1=''E'' = ''mcΔT''}}]],
[[Cylinder#Volume|{{nowrap|1=''V'' = {{pi}}''r''<sup>2</sup>''h''}}]] and
[[Torque#Definition and relation to angular momentum|{{nowrap|1=''τ'' = ''rF''&nbsp;sin''θ''}}]]/ - for more examples, see [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Basic_physics_formula_triangles.svg this] SVG [[cheat sheet]] on [[Wikimedia Commons]]. When a variable with an exponent or in a function is covered, the corresponding [[Inverse function|inverse]] is applied to the remainder, i.e. {{nowrap|1=''r'' = <span style="font-size:150%;">√</span>{{sfrac|''V''|{{pi}}''h''}}}} and {{nowrap|1=''θ'' = arcsin{{sfrac|''τ''|''rF''}}.}}]]
; 1. Music mnemonics
: Songs and jingles can be used as a mnemonic. A common example is how children remember the alphabet by singing the ABCs. Another example are [[book tune]]s.

; 2. Name mnemonics (acronym)
: The first letter of each word is combined into a new word. For example: [[ROYGBIV|VIBGYOR (or ROY G BIV)]] for the colours of the rainbow or [[Lake Huron|H]] [[Lake Ontario|O]] [[Lake Michigan|M]] [[Lake Erie|E]] [[Lake Superior|S]] ([[Lake Huron]], [[Lake Ontario]], [[Lake Michigan]], [[Lake Erie]], [[Lake Superior]]) for the [[Great Lakes]].

; 3. Acrostic mnemonics
: The first letter of each word is combined to form a phrase or sentence – e.g. "[[ROYGBIV|Richard of York gave battle in vain]]" for the colours of the rainbow.

; 4. Model mnemonics
: A model is used to help recall information. Applications of this method involve the use of diagrams, cycles, graphs, and flowcharts to help understand or memorize an idea. e.g. [[Freytag's Pyramid]] to show the different parts of a five-act dramatic structure.

; 5. Ode mnemonics
: The information is placed into a poem or [[doggerel]], – e.g. "Note socer, gener, liberi, and Liber god of revelry, like puer these retain the 'e{{'"}} (most Latin nouns of the second declension ending in -er drop the -e in all of the oblique cases except the vocative, these are the exceptions).

; 6. Note organization mnemonics
: The method of note organization can be used as a memorization technique. Applications of this method involve the use of flash cards and lists. Flash cards are used by putting a question or word on one side of a paper and the answer or definition on the other side of the paper. Lists involve the organization of data from broad to detailed. e.g. Earth → Continent → Country.

; 7. Image mnemonics
: The information is constructed into a picture.

; 8. Connection mnemonics
: New [[knowledge]] is connected to knowledge already known.

; 9. Visualization mnemonics
: Techniques such as the [[method of loci]] allow the user to create unique associations in an imagined space.
