Tutorials
Lesson 1Standard Circuit Diagram Symbols

Learn the standard circuit diagram symbols with us!

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 2Electrical Charge and Current

A flow of charged particles constitutes an electric current. Free electrons are the charged particles in metal conductors. Electrons are free to migrate from one ion to another, and an electric current is defined as a net movement of electrons in one direction.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 3Current, Resistance and pd

The flow of electric charges is known as current. The potential difference provides the ‘push,’ while the resistance prevents the charges from flowing freely.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 4Resistors

A resistor is a component that regulates the passage of electrical current in a circuit. Resistors are constructed of materials that make it difficult for electrical charges to flow through a circuit, such as copper or carbon.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 5Series and Parallel Circuits

All components in a series circuit are connected end-to-end, forming a single current flow route. All components in a parallel circuit are linked across each other, forming two sets of electrically common points.

Lesson 2Changes of State

Physical changes in matter are referred to as state changes. They are reversible modifications that do not affect the chemical makeup or properties of matter.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 3Internal Energy

The energy associated with the random, disordered motion of molecules is known as internal energy.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 4Temperature Changes in a system

The quantitative relationship between heat transfer and temperature change contains all three factors: Q = mcΔT, where Q is the symbol for heat transfer, m is the mass of the substance, and ΔT is the change in temperature. The symbol c stands for specific heat and depends on the material and phase.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 5Changes of Heat and Specific Latent Heat

Changing a material’s internal energy causes it to change temperature or state: the specific heat capacity determines the amount of energy required for a specific change in temperature. The specific latent heat required for a specific change in state is determined by the specific latent heat.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 6Particle Motion In Gases

Particles in gases travel quickly in all directions, frequently hitting with each other and the container’s edge.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 7Increasing Pressure of a Gas

Since more collisions result in more force, the pressure will rise. The pressure rises as the volume decreases. This demonstrates that a gas’s pressure is inversely proportional to its volume.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 8Pressure in Gases

Gas pressure is caused when gas particles hit the walls of their container. The more often the particles hit the walls, and the faster they are moving when they do this, the higher the pressure.

Lesson 11Describing Motion Along a Line

If an object moves along a straight line, the distance travelled can be represented by a distance-time graph. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 12Speed

The rate of change of distance – the distance travelled per unit time – is known as speed. Speed, like distance, is a scalar quantity because it has no associated direction.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 13The Distance Time Relationship

On a distance-time graph, a sloping line indicates that the item is moving. In a distance-time graph, the line’s slope or gradient is equal to the object’s speed. The faster the object moves, the steeper the line (and the larger the gradient).

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 14Acceleration

The change in velocity per second, measured in m/s 2, is known as acceleration. A special formula is used describe the link between acceleration, velocity change, and the time it takes to change.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 15Newton's First Law

Newton’s first law of motion states that until a resultant force occurs on an item, it will remain in the same state of motion.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 16Newton's Second Law

Newton’s second law can either be expressed as “resultant force = mass × acceleration” or “The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the resultant (or net) force, in the same direction as the force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.”

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 17Stopping Distance

We can calculate how fast something comes to a stop using physics and kinematics equations, but the time will never be zero. This signifies that the object continues to move after the force is applied until it comes to a complete stop. The stopping distance is the distance it covers in that amount of time.

Lesson 2Magnetic Fields

The region around a magnet where a force acts on another magnet or a magnetic material is called a magnetic field.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 3Electromagnetism

An electromagnet is a solenoid with an iron core. The magnetic field strength of the solenoid is increased by the iron core. Coiling wire around an iron nail creates a basic electromagnet. Electromagnets are employed in devices that may be operated remotely, such as electronic bells and door locks.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 4Fleming's Left Hand Rule

In a magnetic field, the force on a given length of wire increases as the current in the wire increases. The magnetic field becomes more powerful.

Lesson 6Loudspeakers

The motor effect is used by loudspeakers to produce sound. The magnetic field created varies depending on the AC electric current provided to the device.

Lesson 7Induced Potential

To make an electric current flow in a circuit, a potential difference or voltage is required. This is referred to as the generator effect and is caused by electromagnetic induction. If the conductor is linked in a complete circuit, the induced voltage produces an induced current.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 8Uses of Generator Effect

A potential difference is created across the ends of an electrical conductor when it moves in relation to a magnetic field or when the magnetic field around it changes. A current is induced in the conductor if it is part of a complete circuit. The generator effect is what it’s called.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 9Microphones

Sound waves are converted into electrical impulses by the microphone. Microphones use the generator effect to generate a variable current based on sound wave pressure fluctuations.

GCSE Physics TutorialBuy now
Lesson 10Transformers

A transformer is a device that is used to change the voltage of alternating currents. A transformer is made up of two wire coils coiled around a metal core. One coil receives an alternating voltage (the primary coil). A changing (alternating) magnetic field is created in the core as a result of this.

Lesson 4Red Shift (Physics Only)

Red shift is a result of the expansion of the distance between the Earth and the galaxies. The light waves are stretched out during their travel to humans as a result of this expansion, moving them towards the red end of the spectrum. The faster a galaxy’s light is red-shifted, the faster it is travelling away from Earth.
