The OCR H157/01 June 2025 question paper covers major AS Physics B topics including power and energy transfer, converging lenses, vectors and momentum, microwave polarisation, diffraction gratings, projectile motion, Kirchhoff’s laws, Young modulus, resonance tubes, quantisation levels in digital signals, analogue and digital data transmission, semiconductors, Hall effect, wavefronts, work done, kinetic energy, refractive index, uncertainty, and practical measurement techniques. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Section A contains a wide range of multiple-choice questions testing conceptual understanding, calculations, graph interpretation, standard form, collisions, projectile motion, digital sampling, diffraction gratings, and conservation principles. Students are required to analyse velocity-time graphs, evaluate experimental uncertainty, interpret phasor diagrams, and apply equations involving momentum, kinetic energy, and wave behaviour.
Section B focuses on structured calculations and applied Physics problems including kite-force vector analysis, work done using force components, Kirchhoff’s first law and conservation of charge, converging-lens power calculations, semiconductor charge-carrier density, STM image interpretation, and refractive-index analysis. Students must apply AO1 knowledge, AO2 application, and AO3 analytical reasoning to real-world Physics scenarios.

Section C includes advanced practical and data-analysis tasks involving LEDs and Planck’s constant, digital signal sampling and wireless-network capacity, vibration-sensor data processing, refractive-index practical investigations, graph plotting, uncertainty evaluation, and interpretation of experimental results using lines of best fit and percentage uncertainty.

This OCR AS Physics B Foundations of Physics question paper is ideal for timed exam practice, practical-skills revision, graph-analysis training, and improving AO1 knowledge, AO2 application, and AO3 evaluation skills under authentic OCR examination conditions. Pair this paper with the official OCR H157/01 June 2025 mark scheme on markscheme.net for complete examiner-standard revision and self-assessment. Updated for the 2025/2026 academic year, fully mobile-friendly, and instantly downloadable.

This document is designed for AS Level Physics students preparing for the 2026 OCR examination series, resit candidates improving Foundations of Physics exam performance, home-educated learners, and independent candidates studying OCR AS Physics B. It is especially valuable for students practising calculations, practical investigations, graph interpretation, uncertainty analysis, and AO1/AO2/AO3 Physics exam technique under real OCR exam conditions.

Teachers, Physics departments, tutors, revision-course providers, intervention coordinators, and parents can use this official OCR question paper for mock examinations, practical-skills workshops, retrieval practice, graph-analysis exercises, and benchmarking student responses against live June 2025 OCR assessment standards.
