A-Level Physics Study Group 2024-25

Hi, I have a question. In weak interactions, how can you tell if the exchange particle is a W+ or W- (or Z0)? I've been asked to finish labelling a Feynman diagram and I'm not sure what the exchange particle would be.

Hi I am doing aqa physics. We have done the waves topic. It was quite challenging to understand and to make sense cuz i don't understand why light forms ripples when it passes through a slit, rather than passing straight through like a single line. This is the worst topic of physics...

Hope these videos may be helpful to explain the concept bit more! How are you getting on with the wave topic?? (if you click the vid should just open up on new tab)

thank you very much for the resources, i will definitely use them. Now I became much better - i have done loads of past paper questions on it and watched many animations

That's really great to hear!! Keep it up Is physics your fav subject or something else? I used to love Physics it but struggled wrapping my head around some of the maths involved

Hello,
I’m a tutor with over 10 years of experience with an engineering degree, and I’ve helped hundreds of students score A*s in A-Level Physics, Maths, and Economics. While I’m no longer tutoring, I’ve gathered a lot of tips, tricks, and exam hacks that have helped a lot of students. I'm happy to share the tips/exam hacks/resources that I/my students found helpful and hopefully answer any questions you may have.

I'm in year 13 doing AQA Physics, and to be honest I'm hating it. I managed to get an A* on the end of year 12 mock, but got a B on the recent mocks and really just feel like I'm getting worse at physics - and like I haven't understood anything in ages. Every question seems to be like something I've never seen before no matter how much I revise. I'm quite anxious because I have uni offers that require at least an A and I'm doing far more work for physics than my other two subjects, which I feel fairly comfortable with (maths and economics) yet still don't seem to make progress, and I'm concerned if this is gonna harm my future. Any suggestions?
