Physics Equations Sheet - GCSE Combined Science (8464/8465) - Higher Tier only equations

Oct 20, 2026

A physics equations sheet for GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy 8464 and Synergy 8465) for use in June 2027 only. It specifies “HT = Higher Tier only equations” and lists core formulae across energy, power, efficiency, charge and voltage, and electric relations such as Q = It and V = IR. It also provides mechanics and waves equations including work done, energy transfer, momentum, acceleration, kinematics, and wave speed, intended for Higher Tier problem solving.
