An analysis of the 2024 OCR AS Level Physics A (H156) series, comprising Paper 1 (Breadth in Physics) and Paper 2 (Depth in Physics). The papers cover key core principles including experimental uncertainties, wave mechanics, potential dividers, and kinematics, presenting a balanced mix of multiple-choice and complex structured questions.
A highly practical and mathematically rigorous examination focusing heavily on the photoelectric effect, electrical circuits with internal resistance, and experimental uncertainties. It features prominent 6-mark level-of-response practical design questions on terminal velocity and speed of sound resonance.
The June 2022 OCR AS Physics A examination balanced testing core concepts across the syllabus with practical deep dives into experimental methods. Significant weight was placed on Measurements and uncertainties and Wave motion, with Level of Response questions acting as the key grade differentiators.
