The physics exam paper focuses on core GCSE topics such as electrical circuits, forces and motion, waves, energy transfers, and the electromagnetic spectrum. It emphasizes practical applications like ripple tank experiments, calculating resistances, and analyzing motion in cars and trains. Key sections involve calculations for energy, wave speed, and kinetic energy, as well as the exploration of renewable energy resources and their impact. Visual aids such as graphs, diagrams, and experimental setups complement problem-solving tasks to test both theoretical and practical knowledge.
