Flashcards for Pearson Edexcel A-level Physics (9PH0), split by the specification's thirteen numbered topics, Topic 1 Working as a physicist through Topic 13 Oscillations, plus a Core practicals subdeck covering all sixteen required practicals. Each equation's extra note says whether it is given on the exam formulae sheet or has to be recalled. Delete or suspend any subdeck your course leaves out once the deck is yours.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.

Some of its cards

  • What is the aim of the e.m.f. and internal resistance of a cell practical (CP3)?
    To find the e.m.f. of a cell and how much internal resistance it has
  • What is the condition for an object to move with simple harmonic motion?
    F=−kxF = -kx: the restoring force is proportional to displacement from equilibrium and always directed back towards it
  • What two models can describe the behaviour of electromagnetic radiation?
    A wave model and a photon (particle) model
  • What is the aim of the analysing collisions with ICT practical (CP10)?
    To use ICT to analyse collisions between small spheres, for example ball bearings on a table top
  • What is an electric field?
    A region of space in which a charged particle experiences a force
  • What is the aim of the resistivity of a material practical (CP2)?
    To determine the electrical resistivity of a material, such as the metal a wire is made from
  • What is the aim of the viscosity by a falling-ball method practical (CP4)?
    To find the viscosity of a liquid by timing a small ball falling through it
  • What is the aim of the force and change of momentum practical (CP9)?
    To find out how the change in an object's momentum depends on the force applied to it
  • What is the aim of the young modulus of a material practical (CP5)?
    To determine the Young modulus of a material, typically a metal wire
  • How is electric current defined?
    The rate of flow of charged particles
