AS Level Physics - 6.1 Stress and Strain

**This Powerpoint specifically uses the Cambridge AS Level international Syllabus (9702) and covers all criteria for – Unit 6.1 Stress and Strain
**

Candidates should be able to:
1 understand that deformation is caused by tensile or compressive forces (forces and deformations will be assumed to be in one dimension only)

2 understand and use the terms load, extension, compression and limit of proportionality

3 recall and use Hooke’s law

4 recall and use the formula for the spring constant k = F/x

5 define and use the terms stress, strain and the Young modulus

6 describe an experiment to determine the Young modulus of a metal in the form of a wire

**Every Powerpoint includes learning objectives, a starter and plenary, suitable activities and review questions with mark scheme. We also provide a free pdf version of the file so it can easily be printed for students as a handout or uploaded to the school VLE system
