Welcome to the Wikibooks textbook on Physics, designed to contain everything you need to know for the OCR Physics B (Advancing Physics) specification at http://www.ocr.org.uk/Data/publications/key_documents/AS_ALevel_GCE_Physics_B_Advancing_Physics_Specification.pdf. All sorts of useful documents for this specification are available at http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/asa_levelgceforfirstteachingin2008/physics_b/documents.html .

The old specification (for normal A2 exams until June 2009) is at http://www.ocr.org.uk/Data/publications/key_documents/cquartetOCRTempFileuzyy4kbLM6.pdf, with documents at http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/as_alevelgce/physics_b_advancing_physics/documents.html.

All units are assumed to be SI units, unless stated otherwise. Diagrams can be enlarged by clicking on them.

Chapters are probably marked as 75% complete () because they are complete, but the author is not entirely happy with the correctness of the contents. Please look at these and check them!
