本文梳理了 CCEA 12年级工程学科的核心知识点，涵盖力学、电子学、材料学及系统原理，为你的 AS 阶段复习提供清晰的框架。
1. Mechanical Principles | 力学原理
Mechanical principles describe how forces and motion interact. The key quantities are force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a), linked by Newton’s second law.
力学原理描述力与运动如何相互作用。核心物理量包括力 (F)、质量 (m) 和加速度 (a)，由牛顿第二定律联系。
F = m × a
The unit of force is the newton (N). When a resultant force acts on an object, it causes acceleration in the direction of the force. This principle is used to analyse everything from vehicle braking to structural loading.
力的单位是牛顿 (N)。当合力作用在物体上时，会使物体沿力的方向产生加速度。这一原理可用于分析车辆制动、结构载荷等各种问题。
Moment of a force (torque) is the turning effect about a pivot: τ = F × d, where d is the perpendicular distance from the pivot. Engineers apply this to levers, gears and rotating machinery.
力矩是力绕支点产生的转动效应：τ = F × d，其中 d 是力到支点的垂直距离。工程师在杠杆、齿轮和旋转机械中广泛应用力矩原理。
2. Materials Science | 材料科学
Engineering materials are classified into metals, polymers, ceramics and composites. Each group has distinct mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness, toughness and ductility.
工程材料分为金属、聚合物、陶瓷和复合材料。每一类都具有不同的力学性能，例如强度、刚度、韧性和延展性。

3. Electronic Circuits | 电子电路
Basic electronic circuits involve resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors. Ohm’s law governs the relationship between voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R).
基本电子电路包含电阻、电容、二极管和晶体管。欧姆定律确定了电压 (V)、电流 (I) 与电阻 (R) 之间的关系。
V = I × R
Resistors in series add directly: Rtotal = R1 + R2 + … For parallel resistors, the reciprocal formula is used: 1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2. These rules allow voltage and current division calculations.
串联电阻直接相加：R总 = R1 + R2 + … 并联电阻则使用倒数公式：1/R总 = 1/R1 + 1/R2。这些规则可用于计算分压和分流。
Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) states that the sum of currents entering a node equals the sum leaving. Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL) states that the sum of voltage drops around a closed loop is zero. These are essential for complex circuit analysis.
