A-level Physics topics

Choose what you are working on.

Mechanics

Resolve forces, follow motion and oscillations, and account for energy and momentum.

Follow current and potential difference through circuits and practical data.

Connect wavelength, phase and interference with the patterns you can see.

Read instruments, convert units, and interpret gradients and uncertainty.

Gravitational and electric fields: Use centre distances, compare field strength and potential, and keep charge signs.
Radioactivity and half-life: Calculate expected activity, correct count rates and interpret radioactive decay.

Each topic lists the practice available for selected A-level skills.
