📚 AQA A-Level Physics Insert 4 (January 2022): Mastering the Data and Formula Sheet | AQA 物理 A级 2022年1月 附录4:掌握数据和公式页
The January 2022 AQA A-Level Physics paper came with an insert – often referred to as “Insert 4” – containing essential data, constants, and equations. This insert is more than a reference: it is a strategic tool. Knowing exactly what is printed on it can save time, prevent formula misremembering, and boost confidence during the exam.
2022年1月AQA A级物理试卷附带一份附录——通常称为“附录4”——其中包含必要的数据、常量和方程。这份附录不仅是参考资料,更是一个战略工具。准确了解附录上印有什么,可以节省时间、避免公式记错,并在考试中增强信心。
1. What Is the Insert and How Should You Use It? | 概述:附录是什么以及如何使用?
The insert is provided in every AQA A-Level Physics paper. It is identical across papers 1, 2, and the synoptic paper 3 for the 7408 specification. It lists physical constants, conversion factors, and many standard equations arranged by topic.
附录是每份AQA A级物理试卷都提供的材料,在7408大纲的试卷1、试卷2和综合性试卷3中完全相同。它按主题列出了物理常量、换算因子以及许多标准方程。
You do not need to memorise everything on it – but you do need to know what is there, and what is not. Many students lose marks because they search for a formula that is not printed, or because they misread a symbol under time pressure.
你不必背诵附录上的所有内容——但你需要知道附录上有什么、没有什么。许多学生因为查找附录上没有的公式,或在时间压力下误读符号而丢分。
Effective use means scanning the relevant section before you start a part of a question, confirming the exact form of an equation (e.g. inverse square law vs exponential decay), and substituting values immediately rather than relying on memory.
有效使用意味着在开始答题前先浏览相关部分,确认方程的确切形式(例如平方反比定律 vs 指数衰减),并立即代入数值,而不是依赖记忆。
2. Fundamental Constants – Key Values You Must Trust | 基本常数——你必须确信的关键数值
The first section of the insert provides constants like the speed of light, Planck constant, elementary charge, and rest masses. In January 2022, many questions referenced these directly.
附录第一部分提供了诸如光速、普朗克常数、基本电荷和静止质量等常数。在2022年1月的考试中,许多问题直接引用了这些值。
Common constants printed on the insert include:
附录上常见的基本常数包括:
- Speed of light in vacuum, c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m s⁻¹
- Planck constant, h = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J s
- Elementary charge, e = 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
- Electron rest mass, mₑ = 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg
- Proton rest mass, mₚ = 1.67 × 10⁻²⁷ kg
- Neutron rest mass, mₙ = 1.67 × 10⁻²⁷ kg
- Permittivity of free space, ε₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹² F m⁻¹
- Permeability of free space, μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H m⁻¹
- Gravitational constant, G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m² kg⁻²
- Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m s⁻²
- Boltzmann constant, k = 1.38 × 10⁻²³ J K⁻¹
- Avogadro constant, Nₐ = 6.02 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
Do not round these constants earlier than the final step – use the exact form shown on the insert. For example, using c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m s⁻¹ exactly avoids precision errors in photon energy calculations.
不要过早四舍五入这些常数——在最后一步之前使用附录上显示的确切形式。例如,精确使用c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m s⁻¹可以避免光子能量计算中的精度误差。
3. SI Units and Prefixes – The Hidden Tool | SI单位和词头——隐藏的工具
The insert includes a table of standard prefixes (nano, micro, milli, kilo, mega, giga, etc.). A common mistake in the January 2022 paper was forgetting to convert nm to m or MJ to J.
附录包含标准词头表(纳、微、毫、千、兆、吉等)。2022年1月试卷中的一个常见错误是忘记将nm转换为m,或将MJ转换为J。
The most frequently used prefixes on the AQA insert are:
AQA附录上最常用的词头是:
| Prefix | 词头 | Symbol | 符号 | Multiplication factor | 倍数 |
| giga | 吉 | G | 10⁹ |
| mega | 兆 | M | 10⁶ |
| kilo | 千 | k | 10³ |
| centi | 厘 | c | 10⁻² |
| milli | 毫 | m | 10⁻³ |
| micro | 微 | µ | 10⁻⁶ |
| nano | 纳 | n | 10⁻⁹ |
| pico | 皮 | p | 10⁻¹² |
The insert also lists powers of ten and standard form examples. Always write final numerical answers in appropriate significant figures, usually 3 or 4, matching the precision of the data given.
附录还列出了十的幂和标准形式的示例。最终数值答案应使用适当的有效数字,通常为3或4位,与题目给出的数据精度相匹配。
4. Mechanics Formulas – Motion, Force, and Energy | 力学公式——运动、力和能量
The mechanics section of the insert covers uniformly accelerated motion, Newton’s laws, work, energy, power, and momentum. In the January 2022 paper, a projectile question required the use of both horizontal and vertical equations.
附录的力学部分涵盖匀加速运动、牛顿定律、功、能量、功率和动量。在2022年1月的试卷中,一道抛体运动题需要同时使用水平和垂直方向的方程。
The key equations you will find:
你会在附录中找到的关键方程:
v = u + a t
s = u t + ½ a t²
v² = u² + 2 a s
Notice that the insert does not give the combined equation for horizontal projectile range; you must derive it. For constant velocity in the horizontal direction, use s = v t, and in the vertical direction, use the kinematic equations above.
注意附录中没有给出抛体水平射程的合成方程;你必须自己推导。水平方向匀速运动使用s = v t,垂直方向使用上述运动学方程。
For Newton’s second law, the insert shows F = Δp / Δt, which is more general than F = m a. This form is useful in questions involving variable mass, such as rocket propulsion or fluid jets.
对于牛顿第二定律,附录显示F = Δp / Δt,这比F = m a更通用。该形式适用于涉及可变质量的问题,如火箭推进或流体射流。
p = m v
Δp = F Δt
Eₖ = ½ m v²
Eᵨ = m g h
Remember that work done is the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force. The insert also includes power as P = W / t and P = F v.
记住,功是力与力的方向上位移的乘积。附录还包括功率P = W / t和P = F v。
5. Electricity – Circuits and Resistance | 电学——电路和电阻
This section is essential for questions on current, voltage, resistance, and power. The January 2022 paper included a circuit with two resistors in series and one in parallel.
电流、电压、电阻和功率的问题都离不开这一部分。2022年1月试卷包含一个两个电阻串联、一个电阻并联的电路。
V = I R
R = ρ L / A
P = I V = I² R = V² / R
The temperature coefficient of resistance is given, but the insert does not explicitly show the formula for series or parallel combinations. You must know these by heart:
附录给出了电阻温度系数,但没有明确显示串联或并联总电阻的公式。你必须牢记这些:
R_series = R₁ + R₂ + …
1 / R_parallel = 1 / R₁ + 1 / R₂ + …
For electrical energy, the insert lists W = V I t and P = V I. In questions involving electrical heating, use E = V I t directly, and be careful with units – if V is in volts and I in amperes, then W is in joules when t is in seconds.
对于电能,附录列出了W = V I t和P = V I。在涉及电加热的问题中,直接使用E = V I t,并注意单位——当V以伏特、I以安培、t以秒为单位时,功W以焦耳为单位。
The insert also contains the laws for capacitors: C = Q / V, and the energy stored E = ½ Q V = ½ C V². These are crucial for the alternating current and transient analysis questions.
附录还包含电容器的定律:C = Q / V,以及储存的能量E = ½ Q V = ½ C V²。这些对于交流电和瞬态分析问题至关重要。
6. Thermal Physics and Ideal Gases | 热力学和理想气体
Thermal physics questions often appear in the multiple-choice and long-answer sections. The insert provides both the specific heat capacity equation and the internal energy of an ideal gas.
热物理学问题经常出现在选择题和简答题部分。附录提供了比热容方程和理想气体内能的公式。
ΔE = m c Δθ
E = ½ m v²_rms (for one molecule)
C_v = 3/2 R (for monatomic ideal gas)
The ideal gas equation is given in two forms:
理想气体方程给出两种形式:
p V = n R T
p V = ¹⁄₃ N m v²_rms
From these, you can derive the mean kinetic energy of a gas molecule as ³⁄₂ k T, but you must show your line of reasoning. The insert does include the Boltzmann constant, so use it directly in calculations.
由此,你可以推导气体分子的平均动能是³⁄₂ k T,但必须写出推理过程。附录确实包含玻尔兹曼常数,因此在计算中可直接使用。
For heating without a phase change, the equation ΔE = m c Δθ is sufficient. However, for phase transitions (melting or boiling), you must use the specific latent heat equation Q = m L, which is not printed on the insert – you need to remember it and state it clearly.
对于没有相变的加热,使用ΔE = m c Δθ即可。但对于相变(熔化或沸腾),必须使用比潜热方程Q = m L,该方程未印在附录上——你需要记住并清楚地写出它。
7. Waves and Oscillations – SHM and Wave Speed | 波动和振动——简谐运动和波速
The waves section includes the universal wave equation, phase difference, and the simple harmonic motion (SHM) definition. On the January 2022 paper, a star’s spectrum required Doppler shift interpretation, and the SHM equation was used to find maximum speed.
波动部分包括通用波动方程、相差和简谐运动(SHM)定义。在2022年1月的试卷上,恒星光谱需要多普勒频移解释,并使用SHM方程求最大速度。
v = f λ
a = – ω² x
x = A cos(ω t)
v = – A ω sin(ω t)
For intensity and amplitude, the insert lists I ∝ A², and for stationary waves on a string, the frequency is given by f = (n/2L)√(T/μ). Ensure you know what each symbol stands for: T is tension, μ is mass per unit length.
对于强度和振幅,附录列出了I ∝ A²;对于弦上驻波,频率由f = (n/2L)√(T/μ)给出。确保你知道每个符号的含义:T为张力,μ为单位长度质量。
The insert also includes the diffraction grating equation d sin θ = n λ. This appeared in the January 2022 paper as a question about the maximum order of spectrum visible.
附录还包括衍射光栅方程d sin θ = n λ。2022年1月试卷中有一道关于可见光谱最大级数的问题就使用了该方程。
Do not confuse interference and diffraction. The insert gives the path difference condition for constructive interference, but you must apply it correctly to double-slit and thin-film problems.
不要混淆干涉和衍射。附录给出了相长干涉的光程差条件,但你必须正确应用于双缝和薄膜问题。
8. Fields – Gravitational, Electric, and Magnetic | 场——引力场、电场和磁场
This is often the highest-scoring section in Paper 2. The insert contains separate formulas for gravitational and electrostatic forces, both following inverse-square laws.
这通常是试卷2中分值最高的部分。附录分别给出了引力和静电力公式,两者都遵循平方反比定律。
F_g = G m₁ m₂ / r²
g = G M / r²
F_e = Q₁ Q₂ / (4 π ε₀ r²)
For uniform fields, the insert also provides E = V / d (electric field strength) and E = – ΔV / Δr (as gradient). Magnetic fields include the force on a current-carrying wire:
对于均匀场,附录还提供了E = V / d(电场强度)和E = – ΔV / Δr(作为梯度)。磁场包括载流导线所受的力:
F = B I l sin θ
F = B Q v sin θ
In January 2022, a cyclotron question required the use of the radius of curvature formula r = m v / (B Q). This formula is not printed on the insert, but can be derived by equating the magnetic force to centripetal force. Write the derivation explicitly.
在2022年1月,一道回旋加速器问题需要用到曲率半径公式r = m v / (B Q)。该公式未印在附录上,但可通过让磁力等于向心力来推导。务必写出推导过程。
For gravitational potential and electric potential, the insert gives V = – G M / r and V = Q / (4 π ε₀ r). Remember that gravitational potential is always negative, taking zero at infinity, whereas electric potential can be positive or negative depending on the sign of the charge.
对于引力势和电势,附录给出V = – G M / r和V = Q / (4 π ε₀ r)。记住引力势始终为负,无穷远处为零;而电势的正负取决于电荷的符号。
9. Nuclear and Quantum Physics – Equations from the Insert | 核物理和量子物理——附录中的方程
The quantum section of the insert includes photon energy, work function, and the photoelectric effect. In January 2022, a question on the de Broglie wavelength tested your ability to combine two equations.
附录的量子部分包括光子能量、逸出功和光电效应。在2022年1月,一道关于德布罗意波长的问题考查了你结合两个方程的能力。
E = h f
Eₘₐₓ = h f – φ
λ = h / p
For nuclear decay, the insert provides the radioactive decay law in both exponential and constant forms:
对于核衰变,附录提供了指数形式和常数形式的放射性衰变定律:
A = λ N
N = N₀ e^(– λ t)
T½ = ln 2 / λ
Be careful with units: activity A is in becquerels (Bq), which is s⁻¹. The decay constant λ must be in s⁻¹ if time t is in seconds. Use the insert’s value for ln 2 (0.693) to compute half-life quickly.
注意单位:活度A的单位是贝可勒尔(Bq),即s⁻¹。如果时间t以秒为单位,则衰变常数λ的单位必须是s⁻¹。使用附录中ln 2的值(0.693)可快速计算半衰期。
The insert also gives the energy–mass equivalence E = m c², which is essential for nuclear binding energy calculations. When calculating mass defect, convert atomic mass units (u) to kg using the insert’s value of 1 u = 1.66 × 10⁻²⁷ kg, then multiply by c².
附录还给出了质能等价关系E = m c²,这对核结合能计算至关重要。计算质量亏损时,使用附录中的1 u = 1.66 × 10⁻²⁷ kg,将原子质量单位转换为千克,然后乘以c²。
10. Exam Tips – How to Avoid Insert Traps | 考试技巧——如何避免附录陷阱
Many students believe the insert contains everything they need, but it is not exhaustive. The AQA specification expects you to remember a small set of equations, such as the lens/ magnification formula, the ideal gas mean kinetic energy relation, and the parallax and luminosity equations. Do not rely on the insert for these.
许多学生认为附录包含所有需要的内容,但实际上它并不详尽。AQA大纲要求你记住一小部分方程,如透镜/放大率公式、理想气体平均动能关系,以及视差和光度方程。不要在这些方面依赖附录。
Top tips for using the insert on exam day:
考试当天使用附录的顶级技巧:
- Before Paper 1, read the constants section silently – this primes your memory for the numerical values.
- When you see a question about a topic, turn to that section of the insert first, even if you think you know the formula. This reduces silly sign errors.
- For multi-step calculations, circle or highlight the relevant equation on the insert with your pen – this helps you focus.
- Never leave a formula derivation step unshown. Even if the final equation is on the insert, start from a printed equation and clearly show the substitution.
最后,练习用附录做题。在模拟考试中,只使用附录,并计时。这样你在真实考试中就不会忘记哪些信息在哪个位置。
Practise with the insert under timed conditions. During mock exams, use only the insert and a timer. This way you will not be lost in the real exam, and you will know exactly where to find every printed formula.
