Particle Physics Problem Solving Mastery

A set of 30 exam-style questions covering the particle physics content of A-level Physics, with full mark schemes, worked solutions and teacher notes. Written to match the AQA A-level Physics specification (7408), and suitable for other exam boards’ particle physics content too.

What’s included

• 30 multi-part exam-style questions, increasing in difficulty
• Full mark schemes for every question
• Fully worked solutions with clear, structured steps
• Teacher notes highlighting key ideas and common misconceptions

Content coverage

• Constituents of the atom, specific charge, nuclide notation and isotopes
• The strong nuclear force, alpha and beta decay, and the neutrino
• Antiparticles, the photon model, annihilation and pair production
• The four fundamental interactions, exchange particles and interaction diagrams
• Classifying particles: hadrons, baryons, mesons and leptons
• Quarks and antiquarks
• Conservation of charge, baryon number, lepton number and strangeness
• Mixed multi-step exam-style problems

Who is it for?

• A-level Physics students in Year 12, and Year 13 students revising
• Teachers looking for ready-to-use exam practice
• Homework, independent study, revision or assessment

Why use it?

• Written by an experienced Head of Physics with a degree in particle physics, to match the style and difficulty of real exam questions
• Plenty of practice applying conservation laws, the step students most often get wrong
• Builds confidence from standard questions up to more challenging ones
• Saves time on lesson planning and resource creation

Format: PDF, suitable for printing or digital use.
