Physics

UPDATED 20161017 09:56:11

New topics, a greater mathematical emphasis and a new approach to assessing practical skills characterise the changes made to the new A level Physics specification. Practical skills are at the heart of the new specification. A list of twelve essential practical's are prescribed, including, for example, the investigations of stationary waves in a string, the emf and internal resistance of a cell, simple harmonic motion in a pendulum, the charging and discharging of a capacitor and inverse-square law for gamma radiation. 15% of exam questions will test knowledge of the prescribed investigations. In addition, students will carry out many other experiments to refine their skills.
