2.2 Resistance

2.3 DC Circuits

2.4 Waves

2.5 Quantum Physics

Note down the sub-topics you find most difficult and the questions you get stuck on. Bring your list to class when we get back.

The topics you have identified so far for re-visiting next term are:

· Vectors

· Young’s Modulus

· Polarisation

· Diffraction Grating Problems

· Circuit Analysis

· Potential Divider

You will have a practical test (quant and eval) on stretching an elastic band in the first week back, so do some research on that topic.

Enjoy!
