Can you be tested on required practicals in this paper? or just paper 3a ?

of course there will be 6 mark questions on required practicals

for paper 2?

so theres 6 markers but not on required practicals? Can you give me an example of one if possible

i meant thermal not fields

thermal is so easy to learn youll be fine itll take no more than like 3 hours to learn

hey guys so i calculated my marks and in my first paper i got 30/80. I need an E so in the other 2 papers roughly how many marks do i need to get? obviously ill aim for higher but i just wanna set myself a baseline target as i am a bit stressed rn

Bro if anything you’re more likely to get anything upwards from a B!
That’s an astonishing level of work and definately you should be able to do fields in 5 days. I’d suggest you use Mr Turnbull’s physics on YouTube for that, his explanations are really good and he has playlists for each individual fields. If you aim for one a day you definitely will finish in under 5 days!

hey bro, so for the content, i finished thermal and nuclear so just have fields left. should i just use the mr turnbulls physics lessons for today and tommorow and will that be enough time to do it ?

did thermal or nuclear reactor question come up last year?

Hey guys pls can someone help me with this question, a level physics aqa 2020 paper 2 question 4.5. Given the oscilloscope, determine time constant. I understand that 37% of the total 15V is 5.55V, when reading this across the oscilloscope it gives 4 of the small divisions, but I don't understand why the MS says the time constant is there 4x10^-4 if the time-base setting is 5x10^-4, surely it would be 4x5x10^-4?
Pls let me know if u get it

Hi it’s because the time base setting means one of the squares is 5x10^-4, not one of the small divisions, so you need to do four fifths of 5x10^-4 to find the time of the four small divisions. Hope this helps

OMG thank you so much I really thought I read the question that time lmao

Yeah definitely! At least that’s what’s worked for me!

we haven't done paper 2 or 3 yet but overall are there any predictions for how many marks a B would be?

Im guessing this year is gonna be much higher than average

Can someone explain gravitational field graphs in an easy way?

Wdym by gravitational field graphs? Like the lines? Or a graph of g against r
