In summary, A-level physics students commonly have misconceptions about the fundamental concepts of the subject, such as Newton's Laws, forces, and motion. They also struggle with understanding abstract concepts like quantum mechanics and relativity. Many students also have a misconception that physics is only about solving equations and memorizing formulas, rather than understanding the underlying principles and applying them to real-world scenarios. Additionally, students often underestimate the importance of experimental skills and fail to see the connection between theory and experimentation. These misconceptions can hinder their ability to fully grasp the subject and perform well in exams.
