Although your text book and past papers will probably be the best. Ensure you know all the key words and the data booklet.

Millikan's oil drop experiment

• do the experiment via the link below
• Be patient
• This will take time
• prepare to share your results with the rest of the group including equations, your results and errors involved

and from advancing physics > 110S The light clock

Year 12 test Mon 5th Dec

This test will be based on the following topics (refers to chapters in the book)

• 1.2 Information in images
• 1.3 With our own eyes (Using the lens equations)
• 2.1 Making very small things
• 2.2 Miniature Circuits
• 2.3 Controlling and measuring potential.

It will consist of mainly exam paper questions

To prepare you must be familiar with these chapters. Read through chapter 2.3 before the test. You will have done all the HW set and familiarised yourself with the revision guide (if you have one).

You also need to be familiar with GCSE electricity equations and how to rearrange equations.

You will be given a copy of the data booklet.

Yr 13 Physics Homework

We have now finished section 11 out into space.

I aim to complete teaching as soon as possible to give more time to revise.

You need to complete all the questions set as well as the questions in the text book.

This includes the questions at the end of the chapter.
