This book is an interactive multitouch and media rich resource for students studying physics AS-Level. It is an ideal aid to learning physics, a reference throughout your course and a helpful revision resource in the run up to exams. It contains content adapted from OCR’s Physics A specification (H158) to provide an overview of the essential content for the whole course. Additionally there are sections on key graphs and practical applications of physics – with quality diagrams to illustrate.


The specification overviews are grouped according to OCR's assessed units for GCE AS Physics A (i.e. G481, G482 and G483). There are also sections on the mathematical requirements for the course, help with transposing equations and links to physics resources that encourage deeper independent learning (often beyond the scope of the A-Level) and foster a greater interest in physics.


Features:

1. Essential content for the OCR AS-Level Physics A course.

2. Built in glossary of key terms with links embedded into the content overviews to enhance the usefulness of the overview.

3. Instant study cards based on the pre built glossary – plus any further notes you make.

4. Annotated graphs that you need to be familiar with.

5. Annotated diagrams of practical applications of physics relevant to each unit.

6. Links to interesting physics websites and videos to stretch your learning.

7. Hyperlinks between relevant content.

8. Help section for key mathematical concepts.

9. Review questions to check your understanding.
