Flashcards for CXC CSEC Physics, covering the syllabus's five sections (Mechanics, Thermal Physics and Kinetic Theory, Waves and Optics, Electricity and Magnetism, and the Physics of the Atom) in order, plus a subdeck on scientific method and experimental design. Follows syllabus CXC 22/G/SYLL 13, effective from the May/June 2015 examinations. Delete or suspend any subdeck your own 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

  • How does the current at different points differ in a series circuit?
    The current is the same at every point in the circuit
  • State one property that is common to all types of electromagnetic wave.
    They all travel at the same speed in a vacuum
  • How does rubbing a polythene rod with a dry cloth charge it?
    Electrons transfer from one material to the other by friction, leaving the rod with a net charge
  • What does Einstein's equation, E=mc2E = mc^2, relate?
    The energy, EE, released or absorbed to the change in mass, mm, involved, where cc is the speed of light
  • What is pressure?
    The force acting per unit area
  • In a physics practical, what does the skill "Planning and Designing" involve?
    Asking a scientific question, forming a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test it
  • What theory of light did Huygens propose?
    That light travels as a wave
  • What does a semiconductor diode do in a half-wave rectifier circuit?
    It allows current to flow through it in one direction only, blocking the reverse half of each alternating cycle
  • What is a systematic error in an experiment?
    An error that affects every reading in the same way, such as a wrongly zeroed instrument
  • Why are gaps left between sections of telephone or overhead power lines?
    So the wire can contract in cold weather without snapping, and expand in hot weather without sagging or straining fittings
