Physics

Course summary

Have you ever wondered: • Why is lightning attracted to a church spire? • Can you get electricity out of a potato? • Why is a shock from 240V mains more dangerous than a shock from a 5000V power pack? • What is different about light from the sun during an eclipse? • What would happen if you met your antimatter twin? You will find out the answers to all these questions if you study A-level Physics. Physics can qualify you for a whole range of higher education courses and careers including architecture, engineering, medicine, optics, space science, and many more. IS THIS COURSE FOR ME? “As I have said so many times, God doesn’t play dice with the world.” Albert Einstein 1928. A level of Physics teaches you about the rules of the Universe. If you have an inquisitive and logical mind and you enjoy a bit of maths then let A-level Physics take you on a voyage through the micro-to-macroscopic Universe.
