For Performance Measurement ORDINARY LEVEL PHYSICS 4023/02 NOVEMBER 2022 EXAMINER REPORT INTRODUCTION This report serves to help the teaching and learning process of Ordinary Level Physics. GENERAL COMMENTS 1.It is important that candidates use appropriate scientific vocabulary and terminology accurately. When defining terms candidates need to make sure that the given definitions are dimensionally correct. 2. When answering questions involving calculations, it is important for candidates to show their working clearly. This includes stating the correct equation, followed by the correct substitution of the raw data and finally the correct numerical value with the corresponding correct unit. If the working is clear and based on use of correct physics, it is often possible for examiners to award partial credit even when the final answer is incorrect. Correct answers that are not supported by the correct working method or obtained from incorrect working method cannot be awarded credit. 3. Solutions to numerical questions should be given to an appropriate degree of accuracy. The precision of the data provided in the question is generally indicative of the appropriate number of significant figures for an answer. 4. Candidates should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific phenomena, facts, laws and theories as well as their applications, for example using Fleming's left-hand rule to predict the direction of motion of a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field.
