FAQs

What is this document used for in AQA GCSE Physics (8463)?

It is an equations reference sheet for use in the June 2024 exam, with content intended specifically for the Higher Tier (HT).

Which main physics topics are covered by the equations on the sheet?

The sheet covers mechanics (forces, momentum, kinematics), energy and power, thermal energy and state changes, pressure and density, electricity (charge, current, potential difference, resistance), and wave-related relationships.

Does the sheet include equations for both tiers?

No. The sheet states that HT means Higher Tier only equations, indicating the included formulae are for the Higher Tier.
