The 2026 physics practical for WASSCE

The 2026 WASSCE physics practical will likely cover core topics tested in previous years, focusing on experimental skills and data analysis. Expect questions related to:

• Mechanics: Motion, forces, energy, momentum (e.g., using ticker timers, inclined planes, projectile motion).
• Waves and Optics: Light, sound, reflection, refraction, lenses, prisms (e.g., measuring focal length, speed of sound).
• Electricity and Magnetism: Circuits, resistance, capacitance, magnetism, electromagnetic induction (e.g., Ohm's law, series/parallel circuits, magnetic fields).
• Thermal Physics: Heat transfer, specific heat capacity (e.g., calorimetry experiments).

You'll need to demonstrate proficiency in setting up apparatus, taking accurate readings, plotting graphs, calculating uncertainties, and drawing conclusions from your experimental results.
