iGCSE Physics Study Guide (Unabridged)

Let your imagine fly with our Physics Study Guide. Not only will we provide you with all you need to know for your physics iGCSE but we will take you on a journey to far-flung places, really bringing the wonderful world of physics alive.

Full of sound effects to help cement important points, each chapter will furnish you with the information to help you understand key concepts and excel in your learning.

Written by Jonathan Kingsley, a physics teacher who graduated with honours from Imperial College, and Lorenzo Bassano, another Imperial College graduate, our physics iGCSE study guide covers all parts of the course, including forces, momentum, waves, electrical charge, particles and much more; will provide short, sharp reviews of each topic to help consolidate knowledge; and will give exam guidance as well.
