IB DP Physics: Section E – Condensed Topic Revision Notes Bundle (2026)

A helpful, exam-ready resource for teachers & students.

This bundled collection brings together all Section E condensed topic revision notes into one structured, streamlined resource. Covering the full Nuclear & Quantum Physics strand of the IB DP Physics syllabus, this pack simplifies atomic structure, quantum behaviour, and nuclear processes into clear, accessible summaries suitable for both classroom use and independent study.

The bundle includes:

E.1 Structure of the Atom

E.2 Quantum Physics

E.3 Radioactive Decay

E.4 Fission

E.5 Fusion & Stars

Each topic follows a consistent condensed format, aligned directly with IB assessment statements while avoiding unnecessary detail.

Why This Bundle?

Complete Section Coverage – All Section E topics organised in one coherent revision pack.

Structured for Efficient Review – Content is clearly compartmentalised to support quick recall and exam preparation.
