About WJEC A-Level Physics

WJEC is the principal exam board in Wales and also offers qualifications in England under the Eduqas brand. Their specifications are known for accessible language and clear assessment objectives.

A-Level Physics explores the fundamental laws that govern the universe, from the mechanics of moving objects to the behaviour of subatomic particles. You will study topics including forces and motion, electrical circuits, waves and optics, fields (gravitational, electric, and magnetic), nuclear physics, and often astrophysics or medical physics as an option. The mathematical demands are significant — you will regularly use algebra, trigonometry, and calculus to solve problems.

Study Tips for WJEC Physics

1

Derive equations rather than just memorising them — understanding how v = u + at connects to the area under a velocity-time graph, for example, deepens your understanding and helps you apply formulae in unfamiliar contexts.

2

For every problem, start by drawing a clear diagram, labelling all known quantities with units, and identifying what you need to find. This structured approach prevents you from diving into calculations without a clear plan.

3

Practise unit analysis (dimensional analysis) as a checking tool. If your answer for energy comes out in metres per second, you know something has gone wrong before you even check the numbers.

4

When revising fields topics, compare and contrast gravitational and electric fields side by side — the mathematical structures are almost identical, and understanding the parallels helps you learn both more efficiently.
