About InkPhysics

A free library of A-level physics notes, figures and printable workbooks, with a YouTube channel alongside. No account needed and no adverts; what the site measures is set out on the privacy page. InkPhysics is one of three libraries: about Ink Learning covers all of them.

What this is

InkPhysics covers AQA A-level Physics (7408): the 71 core lessons plus 29 lessons across the 5 option areas (Electronics, Engineering physics, Astrophysics, Turning points and Medical physics). That is 100 lessons across 19 units, each with written notes, diagrams drawn for the point being made, a self-check question and an original workbook. Lessons carry chips showing where they sit in the AQA, Edexcel, OCR A and CIE specifications, and the exam boards pages give the count for each board and list the known gaps. Those counts are against each board's own outcome list; where a topic is taught in less depth than a board asks for, the gap is named there rather than hidden in a total.

How the material is checked

Three kinds of check run here, and they catch different things. Automated checks run on every build: equation tags are compared against the AQA data booklet, internal links and question numbering are verified, and the figures are generated from code that asserts the relationships it draws, so a decay curve must halve where it claims to and a force arrow must point where the cross product says. Those checks enforce consistency; they cannot judge whether the model or premise behind a page is the right one, because code will faithfully validate a wrong idea. That is what subject review is for: content is written and revised against the official specification documents, and worked answers are recalculated when they change. And because neither layer is infallible, reader corrections are treated as part of the process rather than an embarrassment: every report is checked against the sources, and genuine errors are fixed and noted.

Who runs it

InkPhysics, its sister libraries InkMaths and InkBiology, and the Android app for each are published by Ink Learning Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under number 17382113. Its registered office is at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ, and the address for anything about the site is support@inkphysics.co.uk. What the company does with your data is set out on the privacy page.

Independence

InkPhysics is an independent project. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by AQA, OCR, Cambridge International or any awarding body. Every workbook question is original; none is taken from a past paper. Board names appear only to describe where content sits in each specification.

What these notes are for

The notes support taught lessons and revision; they do not replace a teacher or a classroom. The practical pages describe method and analysis for revision purposes, and no online guide replaces supervised practical work: always follow your school’s risk assessments and your teacher’s instructions in the lab.

Spotted a mistake?

Corrections are welcome and taken seriously. The quickest route at the moment is a comment on any video on the channel: name the page and the sentence or question, and it will be checked against the sources and fixed promptly.
