Before I came into IB, I really had a strong grip on Physics, but that soon changed and I found myself quite overwhelmed with the level of work that I had to face.

See the guide for this topic. 5.1 – Electric fields Charge Electric charge can either be positive or negative. Charges with the same sign repel each other and changes with the opposite sign attract…

Option B: Engineering Physics See the guide for this topic. B.1 – Rigid bodies and rotational dynamics Torque When an object is acting upon by a force, it may move but it may also rotate. Torque is a …

To find out, I’ve asked many successful past IB Physics students regarding their techniques, as well as IB Physics teachers, one of whom used to mark IB Papers.

Topic 1: Measurement and uncertainties See the guide for this topic. 1.1 – Measurements in physics Fundamental and derived units Fundamental SI units

Internal Assessments in IB Physics can very easily boost your exam grade. And it’s not particularly hard to write one that scores 5/6 or 6/6 for each section.

See the guide for this topic. 2.1 – Motion Distance and displacement Distance Displacement Scalar Vector A scalar quantity which measures how far two locations are apart from each other along a cer…

12.2 – Nuclear physics Rutherford scattering and nuclear radius Rutherford’s undergraduate students, Geiger and Marsden, bombarded a sheet of gold foil by alpha particles.

In particle physics, other than the conservation of charge, the baryon number, lepton number, and strangeness must also be conserved. Baryons have a baryon number of +1, antibaryons have a …
