Customer Reviews

physics student
i have started my A2 course in physics today, and started making notes on the section we had covered in lesson when i got home. Although the information is well laid out and clearly explained in the book, there are a number of errors in the self assessment question answers in the back of the book (as there was in the AS physics book), and this can cause confusion when working from home as you never know if it is a mistake you have made with the question or if the answers are wrong in the book

Good companion to the A2 course
Physics 2 follows on from the earlier Physics 1 title, retaining the excellent layout and progressive structure. As before, carefully written Self-assessment questions (SAQs) help students to test whether or not they have begun to grasp the key ideas presented in the text. Having the answers in the back is found to be invaluable for these.Each chapter begins with a summary of its contents, which can be a very useful revision check list. The text is well-written and to the point, explaining most of the topics very well indeed. A good use is made of modern colour photography, including examples of how experiments can be performed in school labs to confirm theories.Ends of chapters carry a large selection of exam-standard questions, but this time no answers are included in the back. This is useful for teachers, but somewhat annoying for students. Nevertheless, since the book is supposed to be used alongside the OCR specification, I suspect teachers would dislike it if they were present.This book could be used outside of the OCR A2 course, but more general texts are likely to be more useful.
