The period T of a simple pendulum can be calculated using where l is the pendulum length and g is the gravitational field strength. Using a single value of length and period, we can determine the acceleration due to gravity. However, it would be better experimental practise to vary the length of the pendulum and ...

I have attached revision notes from Scholar for the Electromagnetism unit. Your test will be after the Easter holidays.
You should be thinking about getting some of your project report finished so there is less to do when the deadline approaches. You can start writing up your underlying physics section and sort out the references you will include at the end of the report. I’ve attached a guide on referencing in the Vancouver style. ...

Here are the unit 2 study notes from Scholar that you asked for. Please do try logging in to Scholar and trying their interactive study materials.
As school is closed today, here are some revision links with you to help with preparation for the unit assessment on Monday. General Relativity HR Diagrams pp chain The link below will give you a copy of the Scholar notes for unit 1. Log in to your Scholar account to access their tests and check ...

The Q&W unit assessment is next week. Here are the Scholar notes to help with your revision.
You will need the attached file when we go to the library to learn about using Excel to crunch data for your project.
