IGCSE Physics practice questions by topic

Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625) groups its content into six themes and 24 sub-topics. Each page below drills one sub-topic with exam-style calculations, definitions and the equation work examiners expect to see.

All 24 syllabus topics

1.1 · Physical Quantities and Measurement Techniques 1.2 · Motion 1.3 · Mass and Weight 1.4 · Density 1.5 · Forces 1.6 · Momentum 1.7 · Energy, Work and Power 1.8 · Pressure 2.1 · Kinetic Particle Model of Matter 2.2 · Thermal Properties and Temperature 2.3 · Transfer of Thermal Energy 3.1 · General Properties of Waves 3.2 · Light 3.3 · The Electromagnetic Spectrum 3.4 · Sound 4.1 · Simple Phenomena of Magnetism 4.2 · Electrical Quantities 4.3 · Electric Circuits 4.4 · Electrical Safety 4.5 · Electromagnetic Effects 5.1 · The Nuclear Model of the Atom 5.2 · Radioactivity 6.1 · Earth and the Solar System 6.2 · Stars and the Universe

How to work through IGCSE Physics

  1. Start with 1.1 and 1.2. Measurement technique and motion graphs recur in every later calculation.
  2. Write the equation, then the substitution, then the answer with a unit. Method marks survive arithmetic slips.
  3. Learn which quantities are vectors. Adding vectors arithmetically is the single most common error on the paper.
  4. For explanation questions, describe the particles or the forces. Describing the outcome alone rarely scores.
