P2.4 - AQA GCSE Physics Unit 2 - Suggested Practical Experiments for this Unit

Suggested ideas for practical work to develop skills and understanding include the following:

■ measuring oscilloscope traces

■ demonstrating the action of fuse wires

■ using fluctuations in light intensity measurements from filament bulbs to determine the frequency of a.c.

■ measuring the power of 12 V appliances by measuring energy transferred (using a joulemeter or ammeter and voltmeter) in a set time.
