personal statement help

You can, but what I would do is to try and link physics and history somehow. I don't know how but it definitely helps show your interest in physics and that way your not really going off topic.
Have you started your personal statement yet?

you could also relate it to physics? e.g. history of the atom/development of models over time or something?

quick question, i want to do physics in uni and the subject ive picked are physics maths and history. Should i explain my interest for history and why i chose it?

what exam board are you doing? tying in with what others are saying you couldlook at the AQA turning points in physics modules for some extra-learning/stuff to put in personal statement. That being said you don't really have to mention it at all if you don't want to physics and maths is usually all that's needed

Im doing aqa physics i think

next year you pick an optional module (usually your school picks for you) but if it's something you're interrested in you can use it to start off your initial learning i.e. use the resources available for it to learn about the links. Putting this in your ps will be fine as most people don't study the option till later on anyway. I did a similar thing with engineering physics and it worked out fine.

That is if you want to include those links I don't know how relevant they will be to the courses you're applying for

next year? as in next year college since in in year 2. Or next year literally?
