Physics

Yup, this is it. Physics



Physics is yet another member of the science family. Renowned for its degree of complexity, this subject is also notorious in O Levels. O Level Physics starts things at an easy level, and later on, takes you to the next level. You could call it a ladder, with uneven spaces between each step, the gap between each step abruptly increasing. However, some of the chapters in between are easy, sometimes consisting of only a few concepts*. The dominant, more complex chapters arise at the end, with daunting concepts that can even make distinguishing your right hand from your left hand difficult. Yes, there are a set of rules that help you find the motion and direction of current in a wire, better known as the 'Fleming' Right/Left Hand Rule'. But don't worry about that, there are subtle ways to learn those as well. Physics will have several definitions, several of which come in the exam as well. It also possesses a wide archive of antiquated formulae each of which have a special use. Yes, they are like magic powers. 

The concepts involved are essential to exam success. Every formula is like a jigsaw piece, a piece that can only fit in a specific place. In other words, not every formula can be applied anywhere. You should know where to apply which formula. Some questions may even require of you to use more than one formula in that instance. 

Just an example of a formula!


Towards the last chapters, more and more interlinking concepts arise. You will have to connect the different points together. Pay close attention to the right and left hand rules; where to apply them, and how to apply them, as well as the right hand grip rule, and radioactivity formulae. Magnetism, electromagnetic induction, radioactivity, energy,  and pressure are all promient topics. Revise them properly and solve as many past papers as you can. Remember that past papers are the best way to test your concepts. For physics, to clear concepts, solve as many MCQs as you can. Trust me, they really help. 

I hope this helps you. If it did, then don't forget to share, like, follow, or just leave a comment below. You're feedback really helps me. Thanks
