Physics is the study of energy, forces, waves, mechanics and the structure of atoms and the physical universe. Put simply, physics is the study of matter, energy and the interaction between them.
Here’s what you need to know:
Do you know the different types of energy and how it can be transferred? Don’t forget to revise renewable energy and how it can be conserved.
There is some mathematical equations involved in your study of force. Along with speed, velocity and other equations you need to understand and use Newton’s Law of Motion.
The theory of Waves in physics requires you to know features and types of waves. You will also learn about the areas of light and sound in physics.
Physics topics
For your exam, you will be studying electrical safety, domestic use, circuits, current, voltage and resistance.
This can be a fun topic in class as you get to play with magnets! The real magic is learning about magnetic fields.
The particle model of matter refers to the states particles are in and how physical changes are different from chemical changes.
Here you will learn about the structure of atoms in terms of how they are charged, their size and what they are composed of.
