Physics 7408/2 June 2022

The AQA A-level Physics Paper 2 (June 2022) explores advanced principles of thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and gravitational fields. Topics include energy transfer in steam irons, ideal gas behavior, electric fields around conductors, and gravitational interactions between celestial bodies. The paper also covers capacitors, transformers, and energy efficiencies in power transmission systems. Questions assess knowledge of binding energy, fission and fusion processes, and the impact of nuclear reactions. Practical applications and theoretical understanding are emphasized through calculations and graphical analyses. Keywords: AQA Physics, thermodynamics, ideal gas, electric fields, gravitational fields, capacitors, transformers, binding energy, nuclear physics.
