A Level Physics

A Level Physics

The A Level Physics course takes you into the heart of what is widely regarded as the most fundamental of all sciences. Studying physics can see you grasping the scope of massive galaxies or probing the tiniest component particles of atoms. Physics is the study of how everything works and the basic rules of the universe and is full of challenges and opportunities. A Level Physics  can also lead to a wide range of career opportunities.

Course overview

In this A Level Physics course you’ll build on your existing knowledge of foundation physics and expand your physics studies into more complex areas.

You’ll look at particles and quantum phenomena, electricity, materials and waves. You’ll also study the physics of fields and mechanics, before exploring the fascinating areas of nuclear physics, thermal physics and astrophysics.

As well as theoretical learning, the A Level Physics course will help you develop investigative and practical skills as you apply that learning to experimental applications. This hands-on approach encourages an appreciation of the big picture in physics study and the development of rational thinking.

A Level Physics can be a passport to a huge range of careers and is required or preferred by many university degree courses.

Pre-requisites

You'll need a GCSE/IGCSE/GCE O Level Physics or Science at C grade or equivalent to enrol in our A Level Physics course.

Benefits and features

  • Teaching support 

I won't leave you on your own. Your experienced tutor (sir Imran Mirza is available online and over the phone, ready to help you with all the guidance and motivation you need.

  • Peer support 

When you enrol, you become part of my Community. As well as being able to contact me and submit work online, you'll have instant access to your fellow students, and the chance to discuss your work, ask questions and make new friends.

  • Specialised texts 

All of your teaching materials have been prepared by me in your chosen field. They've also been devised with the unique requirements of home study in mind, making them highly effective distance learning tools.

Grade thresholds

PHYSICS GCE Advanced Level and GCE Advanced Subsidiary Level Grade thresholds taken for Syllabus 9702 (Physics) in the May/June 2011 examination. The thresholds (minimum marks) for Grades C and D are normally set by dividing the mark range between the B and the E thresholds into three. For example, if the difference between the B and the E threshold is 24 marks, the C threshold is set 8 marks below the B threshold and the D threshold is set another 8 marks down. If dividing the interval by three results in a fraction of a mark, then the threshold is normally rounded down. Grade A* does not exist at the level of an individual component. The thresholds for the syllabus are determined first by adding together the thresholds for the components taken by the candidate. A reduction may be made at the higher grades depending on the correlation of the papers. If the maximum raw marks for the components are not in the weighting/relationship specified in the syllabus, a weighting is applied...

All Definitions Needed For A Level (Part 1)

Measurement: Random errors are errors of measurements in which the measured quantities differ from the mean value with different magnitudes and directions. Systematic errors are errors of measurements in which the measured quantities are displaced from the true value by fixed magnitude and in the same direction. Accuracy is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with the true value. Precision is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with each other. Thermal Physics: The internal energy is a function of state and the total microscopic kinetic and potential energies of the particles  composing the system. The specific latent heat of fusion, L f , is defined as the amount of heat required per unit mass to change a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase without any change in temperature The specific latent heat of vaporization, L v , is defined as the amount of heat required per unit mass to change a subs...
