Looking for A-Level Physics Exams

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking A-level physics exam papers to compare their difficulty with exams in British Columbia, Canada. They request anyone with sample exams to share them. Another participant mentions that OCR provides free access to past A-level physics papers, noting that while the exams may not be particularly difficult, the grade boundaries are often low due to widespread student struggles. Additionally, SQA offers higher and advanced higher papers that are comparable to A-levels. The discussion emphasizes the availability of resources for accessing past physics exams.

I'm looking for an A-level physics exam, from any year, a whole exam.

I'd like to compare the difficulty to the exams we see here in BC Canada. Please if you have sample exam share it!

Also if this is the incorrect forum please move my post, - I wasn't sure where to put it elsewhere!

Thanks

OCR maintain a stock of all their A-level past papers free for anyone to download. This is the exam board I did my A-level physics with, I wouldn't say they are particularly difficult at all, although the grade boundaries are often low as lots of people seem to struggle. Hope this helps!

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
