Physics

Course summary

Physics is, quite simply: “the study of every phenomenon in the universe, from the smallest fragments of matter to the largest assemblage of galaxies and everything else in between”! Studying this fascinating subject at A Level develops logical thinking and analytical skills. Module 1: Development of practical skills in physics (skills of planning, implementing, analysis and evaluation) Module 2: Foundations of Physics (physical quantities and units, scalars and vectors, measurements) Module 3: Forces and motion (motion, forces, energy and power, materials, momentum) Module 4: Electrons, waves and photons (charge and current, energy, electric circuits, resistance, waves quantum physics) Module 5: Newtonian world and astrophysics (thermal physics, oscillations, circular motion, gravitational fields, astrophysics) Module 6: Particles and medical physics (capacitors, electric fields, electromagnetism, nuclear and particle physics, medical physics)
