i need help with physics revision.?

Question

ive been studying physics for 2 years at standard grade and need help.im useless at it.my target grade is a 2(like a B) and i got a 5(lowest pass is a 6) in the prelim.

BTW its at creit level.

Answer 1

you didn't say what level you are studying for......

i have added some links to gcse websites which have revision, so at least you can have a look at some of the basic things you should know.

Hope they help =P

Answer 2

The best thing you can do is remember your formulae. (P=IV, Q=It, v=d/t etc.)


Also, I learned a nifty wee magnetic field trick, to tell you which way a wire will jump when placed into a magnetic field;

Put your thumb up on your right hand. Put your first finger out so you make an L shape. Put your middle finger so that it is at right angles to your first finger, so your fingers point in 3 directions.

Your first finger is the direction of the current in the wire and your middle is pointing towards 'South' in your magnetic field. Your thumb points the way the wire will jump.

It sounds needlessly complicated, but do it and you'll see what I mean.


I really hope this helps; I'm in the year below you, so far we've done telecoms and using electricity and ALREADY I'm regretting my triple science thing...

If there's anything at all you need to know, ask and I can find out. Or you could ask yourself... Just look at a past paper and see what kind of thing you need to know.


Just remember there is ALWAYS at least one problem concerning electricity formulae.

Good luck x

Answer 3

Don't worry about it.
I also had a lousy result for Physics in my mocks.
So I got the past papers (I think they still do those) and learned more Physics by having to answer the questions in the paper. It really helped. I got an A.
Ask your teacher for some help......they're not all that bad.
Good luck in your exam - let us all know how you did.
