1. Overview of the PH01 Paper | PH01 试卷概览
The PH01 paper is a written examination lasting 1 hour 30 minutes, with a total of 70 marks. It covers topics typically taught in the first year of A-level physics: mechanics, materials, waves, and basic electricity. Questions range from short definitions to multi-step calculations and data analysis.
PH01 试卷为笔试，时长 1 小时 30 分钟，满分 70 分。考查范围通常包括 A-level 物理第一年所学内容：力学、材料、波和基础电学。题型从简短的定**义题到多步骤计算题和数据分析题不等。
The specimen paper includes approximately 10–12 questions, each targeting a specific area of the specification. Marks are split roughly evenly between calculation and conceptual understanding, but many calculation questions also require a clear explanation of physical principles.
样卷包含约 10 至 12 道题目，每道题针对大纲中的某个具体领域。计算题与概念理解题的分值大致相当，但许多计算题同时要求学生清晰阐述物理原理。
2. Mechanics: Kinematics and Forces | 力学：运动学与力
A major section of PH01 concerns kinematics. You should be comfortable using the equations of motion for uniform acceleration, interpreting velocity-time and displacement-time graphs, and understanding the vector nature of displacement, velocity and acceleration.
PH01 的重点部分之一为运动学。你需要熟练掌握匀加速运动方程，能够解读速度-时间图和位移-时间图，并理解位移、速度和加速度的矢量性质。
Common questions ask you to calculate the acceleration of an object from a graph, or to find the stopping distance of a vehicle given initial speed and deceleration. Always state the equation you use and show every step, as method marks are awarded even if the final answer has a small arithmetic error.
常见问题包括根据图像计算物体的加速度，或已知初速度和减速度求车辆的制动距离。务必写出所用方程并展示每一步计算，因为即使最终结果存在微小算术错误，方法分仍然可以获得。
v² = u² + 2as
For free fall problems, take g = 9.81 m s⁻² and remember that air resistance is neglected in idealised exam questions. Always define positive direction in your working.
对于自由落体问题，取 g = 9.81 m s⁻²，并记住在理想化的考题中忽略空气阻力。计算时务必先规定正方向。
3. Newton’s Laws and Momentum | 牛顿定律与动量
Newton’s three laws form the basis of dynamics. In the specimen paper, you may be asked to identify which law explains a given situation, for example a passenger lurching forward when a bus brakes suddenly.
牛顿三大定律是动力学的基�础。样卷中可能要求你判断某个现象对应哪条定律，例如公交车突然刹车时乘客前倾的现象。
Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. The principle of conservation of momentum applies to isolated systems. Questions often involve collisions between two objects, where you must calculate an unknown velocity or mass.
动量定义为质量与速度的乘积。动量守恒定律适用于孤立系统。题目通常涉及两物体碰撞，要求计算未知的速度或质量。
momentum = m v
For elastic collisions, kinetic energy is also conserved; for inelastic collisions it is not. In the exam, you should check whether kinetic energy before and after a collision is equal to decide the type of collision.
对于弹性碰撞，动能同样守恒；对于非弹性碰撞，动能不守恒。考试中，应比较碰撞前后动能是否相等，以此判断碰撞类型。
4. Work, Energy and Power | 功、能与功率
The concepts of work, kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and power are frequently tested. Work done is the product of force and distance moved in the direction of the force.
功、动能、重力势能和功率等概念经常被考查。做功等于力与沿力方向移动距离的乘积。
W = F s
You should be able to convert between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy in simple systems, such as a pendulum or a falling object. Remember that the work done by a force can also be found from the area under a force-displacement graph.
你需要能够在简单系统（如单摆或下落物体）中进行动能与重力势能的相互转化。记住，力对物体做的功也可以通过力-位移图像下的面积求得。
Power is the rate of doing work. A typical question might give the power of a motor and ask how long it takes to lift a mass through a certain height. Efficiency questions are also common.
功率是做功的快慢。典型题目可能给出电动机的功率，求提升一定质量到某一高度所需的时间。效率问题也很常见。
5. Materials: Density, Hooke’s Law and Young Modulus | 材料：密度、胡克定律与杨氏模量
This section introduces the elastic behaviour of materials. Hooke’s law states that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the applied force, provided the limit of proportionality is not exceeded.
本节介绍材料的弹性行为。胡克定律指出，在比例极限内，弹簧的伸长量与所受外力成正比。
F = k x
You may be asked to plot a force-extension graph and identify the limit of proportionality, elastic limit, and yield point. The area under the graph represents work done in stretching the material.
你可能会被要求绘制力-伸长量图像，并标出比例极限、弹性极限和屈服点。图像下的面积表示拉伸材料所做的功。
The Young modulus is a measure of the stiffness of a material independent of its shape. It is defined as tensile stress divided by tensile strain. A common experiment-based question involves measuring the Young modulus of a metal wire using a micrometer and a travelling microscope.
杨氏模量是衡量材料刚度的物理量，与材料形状无关。其定义为拉伸应力除以拉伸应变。常见的实验题要求使用千分尺和移测显微镜测量金属丝的杨氏模量。
6. Waves: Progressive Waves and Standing Waves | 波：行波与驻波
Wave questions in PH01 focus on the properties of progressive waves, including wavelength, frequency, speed, amplitude and phase. The wave equation v = f λ is essential.
PH01 中的波动题侧重于行波的性质，包括波长、频率、波速、振幅和相位。波速方程 v = f λ 是必考内容。
v = f λ
You should be able to describe the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves, and give examples such as light and sound. The specimen paper may include a diagram of a wave and ask you to label the amplitude and wavelength.
你需要能够描述横波与纵波之间的区别，并给出光波和声波等实例。样卷中可能会给出波的图像，要求标注振幅和波长。
Standing waves are formed by the superposition of two waves of the same frequency and amplitude travelling in opposite directions. You need to understand nodes and antinodes, and be able to calculate the frequency of the first harmonic on a stretched string.
驻波由两列频率相同、振幅相同、传播方向相反的波叠加而成。你需要理解波节和波腹，并能计算弦上基频的频率。
7. Superposition and Interference | 叠加与干涉
The principle of superposition states that when two waves meet, the resultant displacement is the vector sum of the individual displacements. This leads to interference patterns.
叠加原理指出，当两列波相遇时，合位移等于各列波位移的矢量和。这一原理导致干涉现象。
Young’s double-slit experiment is a classic topic. You should know the formula for fringe spacing:
杨氏双缝实验是经典考点。你需要掌握条纹间距公式：
w = λ D / s
where w is the fringe spacing, λ is the wavelength, D is the distance from the slits to the screen, and s is the slit separation. You should be able to explain why a series of bright and dark fringes is observed.
其中 w 为条纹间距，λ 为波长，D 为双缝到屏幕的距离，s 为双缝间距。你需要能够解释为什么观察到明暗相间的条纹。
Questions may ask about the effect of changing the slit separation or wavelength, or using a laser vs. a filament lamp source. Monochromatic, coherent light produces clear interference patterns.
题目可能问及改变双缝间距或波长的影响，或比较激光与白炽灯光源的区别。单色、相干光能产生清晰的干涉图样。
8. Electricity: Circuit Basics and Resistance | 电学：电路基础与电阻
This section covers current, potential difference, resistance, and circuit diagrams. You should know Ohm’s law and how to calculate total resistance in series and parallel circuits.
本节涵盖电流、电势差、电阻和电路图。你需要知道欧姆定律，并会计算串联和并联电路的总电阻。
V = I R
In the specimen paper, you may be asked to read a circuit diagram, calculate current through a resistor, determine the power dissipated, or explain why a filament lamp does not obey Ohm’s law.
样卷中可能要求你读取电路图，计算通过电阻的电流，确定消耗的功率，或解释为什么白炽灯不遵循欧姆定律。
For series circuits, the same current flows through each component and the total p.d. is the sum of individual p.d.s. For parallel circuits, the p.d. across each branch is the same and the total current is the sum of branch currents.
串联电路中，各元件通过相同电流，总电势差等于各电势差之和。并联电路中，各支路两端电势差相同，总电流等于各支路电流之和。
9. Electrical Characteristics and Components | 电学特性与元件
You need to interpret I–V characteristic graphs for a resistor at constant temperature, a filament lamp, and a diode. These graphs are nonlinear for the lamp and diode, showing their resistance changes with applied p.d.
你需要能够解读恒定温度下电阻、白炽灯和二极管的 I–V 特性曲线。白炽灯和二极管的曲线非线性，表明其电阻随外加电势差而变化。
A thermistor is a temperature-dependent resistor; its resistance decreases as temperature increases. A light-dependent resistor (LDR) has a resistance that decreases as light intensity increases. You may be asked to describe uses such as a thermostat or a light-sensitive switch.
热敏电阻的阻值随温度升高而降低；光敏电阻（LDR）的阻值随光照强度增强而降低。你可能会被要求说明其应用，如恒温器或光控开关。
Circuit questions often combine these components in potential dividers. You should be able to calculate output voltage using the potential divider formula:
电路题常将这些元件组合在分压器中。你需要能够使用分压公式计算输出电压：
V_out = V_in × R₂ / (R₁ + R₂)
Make sure you correctly identify which resistor is R₂ and note whether components are connected in series or parallel.
确保准确识别哪个电阻是 R₂，并注意元件是串联还是并联连接。
10. Data Analysis and Practical Skills | 数据分析与实验技能
The PH01 paper includes at least one question that tests experimental method. Common topics are the measurement of the acceleration due to gravity using a pendulum, the determination of the Young modulus for a wire, and the use of a travelling microscope in the double-slit experiment.
PH01 试卷至少有一道题考查实验方法。常见主题包括用单摆测量重力加速度、测定金属丝的杨氏模量，以及在双缝实验中使用移测显微镜。
You may be asked to identify the independent and dependent variables, describe how to control other variables, plot a linear graph from data, calculate a gradient, and determine an unknown quantity from the gradient. Uncertainty analysis is also important: you should know how to calculate absolute and percentage uncertainties.
你可能会被要求识别自变量和因变量、描述如何控制其他变量、根据数据绘制线性图像、计算斜率，并由斜率确定未知量。不确定度分析也很重要：你需要会计算绝对不确定度和百分比不确定度。
For example, if a student measures the period of a pendulum using a stopwatch with resolution 0.01 s, but their reaction time is about 0.2 s, the percentage uncertainty in a single timing may be large. Taking the average over multiple oscillations reduces the percentage uncertainty.
例如，若学生使用分度值为 0.01 s 的秒表测量单摆周期，但反应时间约为 0.2 s，则单次计时的百分比不确定度可能很大。对多次振动取平均值可以降低百分比不确定度。
11. Common Mistakes to Avoid | 常见错误与避免方法
Many students lose marks by forgetting to convert units, for example leaving distances in cm when the equation requires metres. Always check units before substituting into a formula.
许多学生因为忘记换算单位而丢分，例如在公式需要米时却使用厘米。代入公式前务必检查单位。
Another frequent error is mixing up vector and scalar quantities. Speed is a scalar, while velocity is a vector. Distance is a scalar, while displacement is a vector. Read the question carefully to see whether direction is required.
另一个常见错误是混淆矢量和标量。速率是标量，速度是矢量；距离是标量，位移是矢量。仔细阅读题目，判断是否需要说明方向。
In wave questions, one common pitfall is forgetting that the wave equation v = f λ is valid for all waves, but the frequency is determined by the source, while the speed depends on the medium. Also, when drawing a standing wave, ensure you draw the correct number of nodes and antinodes for the given harmonic.
在波动题中，一个常见的陷阱是忘记波速方程 v = f λ 适用于所有波，但频率由波源决定，波速取决于介质。此外，绘制驻波时，务必根据给定的谐波次数画出正确的波节和波腹数目。
12. Final Revision Strategy | 最终复习策略
To perform well in PH01, you should practice past and specimen questions under timed conditions. After marking, classify each mistake as a knowledge gap, a calculation error, or a misinterpretation of the question. This helps you target your revision effectively.
要在 PH01 中取得好成绩，你应在限时条件下练习历年真题和样卷。批改后，将每个错误分类为知识盲区、计算错误或题意理解错误。这有助于你更有针对性地复习。
Create a formula sheet from memory every week, then check it against the specification. Use the mark scheme to learn the key phrases for definitions and explanations. For calculation questions, always show your working with units and pay attention to significant figures.
每周凭记忆整理一份公式表，然后对照考纲检查。使用评分标准学习定义和解释题的关键表述。对于计算题，务必写出带单位的过程，并注意有效数字。
Finally, remember that the examiner is looking for clear communication of physical reasoning. Even if you cannot solve the full calculation, write down the appropriate equation and any valid reasoning — you may gain partial credit.
最后，记住考官看重的是物理推理的清晰表达。即使无法完成全部计算，写下相关方程和有效推理也可能获得部分分数。
