QA A-Level Physics Paper 2 covers material from Year 2 of the syllabus and some content from Year 1. It typically includes: Thermal Physics: Specific heat capacity, latent heat, and the kinetic theory of gases. Fields and their Consequences: Gravitational fields, electric fields, capacitance, and ...

Capacitance is the ability of a system to store electrical charge when a voltage is applied. It’s measured in farads (F), which indicate how much charge can be stored per volt of potential difference. A capacitor is a device designed to store electrical energy, consisting of two metal plates separ...

Gravitational and electric fields are both examples of force fields that act over a distance. Gravitational fields are regions around a mass where another mass experiences an attractive force. The force is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the d...

Magnetic fields are regions around a magnet or a moving electric charge where magnetic forces can be observed. These fields are produced by magnets, electric currents, or changing electric fields. Magnetic field lines show the direction and strength of the field, going from the north to the south po...

Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of particles or energy from the unstable nuclei of certain atoms as they decay to become more stable. This process occurs in three main forms: Alpha decay: Emission of alpha particles (2 protons and 2 neutrons), decreasing the atomic number by 2. Beta de...
