Im asking for all the individual practicals we need to know
Required practicals (from the top of my head)
1. Determination of g by freefall
2. Young Modulus by a simple method
3. Variation of the frequency of stationary waves on a string
4. Interference in Young's slit experiment & Diffraction grating
5. Emf & Internal resistance of cells & batteries
6. Determine resistivity of a wire
Has anybody created an official paper 2 thread?

Learn your required practicals, i am sure there will be at least one six marker on a practical
This is an exam discussion for the second paper: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4114307
Does anyone know where I can find lots of practical based questions and uncertainties etc for paper 2? 😄

I'm gonna start on specimen papers and questions from book, also try past papers from previous specs. Make sure to try ISAs


I will look at ISA's thanks :smile:
Can someone explain the answer to Question 33 on the second set of specimen papers?
