Practical data
Internal resistance practical questions
Use terminal voltage and current data to find emf, internal resistance and load power.
Young modulus practical questions
Calculate stress, strain and Young modulus from wire dimensions and force–extension data.
Free fall practical questions
Process repeated timings, find g from squared-time graphs and evaluate timing errors.
Capacitor discharge practical questions

Measurement and graph skills
Percentage uncertainty questions
Work with absolute and percentage uncertainty, repeated readings and timing.
Combining uncertainties
Choose when to add absolute uncertainties, add percentages or include powers.
Physics graph skills
Read scales, plot points and use gradients and intercepts in Physics.
Gradient uncertainty practice
Check limiting lines against error bars, then find absolute and percentage uncertainty.
Micrometer reading practice
Read the sleeve and thimble, correct zero errors and record measurements.
Vernier caliper reading practice
Read main and vernier scales, correct signed zero errors and find resolution.
Oscilloscope practice
Read voltage amplitude, peak-to-peak voltage, period, frequency and phase difference.
