Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Form 2 Physics Mid Term 2 Exam 2025 with Marking Scheme. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  The marking scheme is in a different document.

  The exam paper, titled "PHYSICS FORM 2 MID TERM 2 2025" in the document, appears to have 9 main questions or question blocks (the numbering becomes implicit after question 4). The exam is marked out of a total of 55 marks and should be completed by learners within a duration of 1 hour and 15 minutes.

  The topics covered in the exam include:

  • Light:
    • Stating the laws of reflection.
  • Electrostatics:
    • Stating applications of electrostatics.
  • Current Electricity:
    • Listing advantages of alkaline accumulators over lead-acid accumulators.
    • Calculating the quantity of charge (Q = It) given current and time.
  • Magnetism:
    • Explaining the meaning of magnetic field and magnetic lines of force.
    • Describing methods of demagnetizing a permanent magnet.
    • Using the domain theory to explain the difference between magnetic and non-magnetic materials.
    • Describing an experiment to distinguish between a magnet and an iron bar, and stating expected observations with reasons.
    • Naming the process of demagnetization using an alternating current in a solenoid and explaining it using domain theory.
  • Measurement I & II:
    • Writing numbers to a specified number of significant figures.
    • Estimating the thickness of an oil molecule using the oil drop experiment concept.
    • Using a micrometer screw gauge: stating its pitch, limitations, reading measurements (including zero error consideration to find actual diameter), and using measurements to calculate density.
  • Turning Effect of Forces (Moments):
    • Defining moment and stating its SI unit.
    • Solving problems involving the principle of moments for a balanced metre rule with multiple forces.
    • Calculating unknown forces and the reaction at the pivot for a meter-ruler under the action of several forces.
  • Properties of Matter / Particle Nature of Matter:
    • Explaining Brownian motion.
    • Explaining why solids expand when heated.
