This page contains a summary of module 2 and some revision resources which we hope you will find useful. This module is studied by pupils following the separate Physics GCSE (4451) and the Additional Science GCSE (4463).
What does the current through an electrical current depend on?
What is mains electricity and how can it be used safely?
Why do we need to know the power of electrical appliances?
What is static electricity, how can it be used and what is the connection between static electricity and electric currents?
How can we describe the way things move?
How do we make things speed up or slow down?
What happens to the movement energy when things speed up or slow down?
What is momentum?
