Edexcel AS Level Physics Paper 1 - 14th May 2025 [Exam Chat]

I also had trouble finishing it. I skipped the resistivity 5 marker, and the 2 moments questions then when I finished everything else I had about an hour left for those 3 alone and I somehow still didn't finish the resistivity question and on the moments question I didn't manage to get the forces. Now that i'm home, I replicated the moment forces question and found the answers. So i've possibly dropped 15 marks guaranteed when it should've got the answer to the moments question realistically 😕

Did you figure out how to do the resistivity question? I’m still confused as to what you were supposed to do

It was actually so hard, I did every question, the only one I got probably wrong is the angle question, cause didn't have time to think about it i just speed run it. And the increase in temperature for LDR i guess or smth

damn well done, I envy you. The exam nerves got to me and i'm worried I didn't do as well as I could've because I may have made silly errors & now I might not get the A I was hoping for. Hopefully i'll be more composed for paper 2 😂. Good luck to you for paper 2.

Nope, I didn't even get to attempt to write anything. And I don't remember what the exact info was, I just remember something about 0.5W h or something, so I can't attempt it again. I think we may have had to use info from the previous parts since it was part (iii) or something.

You should've find m cubed using 0.05w i don't remember how, but then just times by resistivity and u get like 89% which is almost the same as 90%.

Do you know where to find the paper? Like just questions?

yo I think I know what we had to do, it gives us the power and tells us to assume that the current is 22A or whatever, so I think we needed to use P=I^2 R to get R and then use the resistivity equation to get the areas for the different wires. Then you'd have to find the volume which is the area x the length which is tells us is 1.00m for both wires. And then probably compare the cost

yeah that makes sense, that was such a twisted and wordy question. Like I was tryna compare the values in the resistivity equation and tryna connect them with power in some way but nothing was working 😭
