Frequently asked questions

Completely. No account needed, no sign-ups, no adverts. Read the notes, download the workbooks and use them for your own study as much as you like. The material itself stays © InkPhysics, so please link to the site rather than re-publishing copies elsewhere.

The library is organised by the physics rather than by a board. Every lesson opens with chips showing where it sits in the AQA, CIE, OCR A and Edexcel specifications, and the AQA, CIE, OCR A and Edexcel views map those specifications onto the library.

Yes. Print them and project them freely for your own classes, and point students at the site. What is not allowed is re-publishing the material, distributing edited copies or selling it: all rights are reserved by InkPhysics.

Where motion is the idea, the figure loops it: a wave travelling, a capacitor draining, a chain reaction being tamed. If your device asks for reduced motion, or you print a page, every moving figure shows a clean still frame instead.

Yes: InkMaths covers Edexcel A-level maths in the same style, with the complete A-level Maths course written, Further Maths with all eight option papers alongside it, and the same flashcards and revision tools.

InkPhysics is also a YouTube channel. The notes stand alone, and the channel carries worked walkthroughs in the same style.

Live. The flashcards page carries the key definitions, the equations that are not on the AQA data sheet, and one spot-the-error card per lesson, with spaced-repetition scheduling saved in your browser (and synced between devices only if you sign in), plus free Anki decks and printable packs for every unit.

Please say so: leave a comment on any InkPhysics video and it will be read. Corrections ship quickly, and the whole site rebuilds as one piece, so a fix lands everywhere at once.

For AQA, yes: the practicals hub carries a full guide to each of the twelve required practical activities AQA sets for 7408, with method, analysis, error sources and improvements. Twelve is AQA’s number, and these guides are written to AQA’s list. The other three boards this site maps structure practical work differently: Edexcel (9PH0) sets sixteen core practicals alongside a separately reported Science Practical Endorsement; OCR A (H556) reports a Practical Endorsement built from at least twelve assessed activities covering PAG1 to PAG12, with centres free to choose the activities; and CIE (9702) names no required list at all, examining practical skills directly in Paper 3 (Advanced Practical Skills) and Paper 5 (Planning, Analysis and Evaluation). The techniques overlap heavily (measuring the Young modulus or a resistivity is the same experiment whoever set it), so the guides are worth reading on any board, but they are not a complete map of any specification except AQA’s. Check your own specification for its own list.
