Macroscopic and microscopic views

Kinetic theory links the measurable properties of a gas, pressure ppp, volume VVV, temperature TTT, and amount nnn, to the motion of its molecules. For an ideal gas, the same state can be written as pV=nRTpV = nRTpV=nRT or pV=NkTpV = NkTpV=NkT.

Step-by-step lessons covering Eduqas A Level Physics Kinetic Theory for A Level Physics. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Component 1, Component 2 and Component 3 format. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- a minimum of 40% of the marks require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
