SPM Physics: 2010 Hot Topics

Recently I received too many request for SPM 2010 tips.The truth is,for those want to get good results, u actually need to be strong in all chapters. However, i dont want to let u down, here i list out some of the HOT topics for this year. 


SPM 2010 TIPS:  Form4


Chap 1 - Measuring instrument,zero error,sensitivity,accuracy

Chap 2 - Linear graph,ticker tape, momentum,RESOLVING FORCES,
equilibrium forces,lift+gravity, conservation of energy, application of hooke's law

Chap 3 - Gas & atmospheric pressure,manometer+barometer),application of  archimedes, application of bernoulli 

Chap 4 - thermometer specs & calibration,specific heat capacity(application)latent heat graph,charles +pressure law

Chap 5 - Lenses (drawing & application:microscope), refraction + total internal reflection(drawing &  application),
plane mirror stuff, curved mirror drawing & application

SPM 2010 TIPS:  Form5

Chpt 1 :Undrstanding wave graph,( frequency,period,wavelength), resonance,Wave diffraction ( for water,sound & light)
Wave interference ( for water,sound & light)


Chpt 2:
Electric field,Serise parallel application,Ohms Law, Emf & Internal resistance,Factors affecting resistance


Chpt 3:
Electromagnet & Application(motor etc), catapult field+turning effect & application,
Induction & Application, (Lenz +Faradays law, generator & etc),transfromer & national grid

Chapt 4:
CRO, diode waveform+doping,Transistor circuit(amplifier+switch) 


Chapt 5:
Radioactive decay & its radiation properties,Radioisotope application, Half Life,  Fission, Fusion+Nuclear reactor


U are welcome to discuss other tips u've receicved in the comment section. However all topics can be asked in paper 1 . In other words u need to study almost all subtopics in order to get an A (;
..so all the best & Good luck!
