AQA A Level Physics Paper 3bc Engineering Physics 2025 Qp

Get the official AQA A-Level Physics Paper 3 Section B Engineering Physics question paper from the June 2025 series (7408/3BC) — the exact option-specific booklet sat on the morning of 17 June 2025 by candidates who chose Engineering Physics as their Paper 3 optional topic. This free downloadable PDF contains every Engineering Physics question contributing to the 35 Section B marks, in the original AQA layout candidates faced in the real exam — perfect for timed, exam-condition mocks targeted purely at the option content.

Section B Engineering Physics covers the full optional specification: rotational dynamics (angular displacement, angular velocity, angular acceleration, torque, moment of inertia, angular momentum, rotational kinetic energy, and conservation of angular momentum), and thermodynamics and engines (the first law of thermodynamics, non-flow processes, p-V indicator diagrams, four-stroke and diesel engine cycles, the second law, heat-engine efficiency, reversed engines, refrigerators and heat pumps). Pair it with the matching Section A practical-skills paper and the official 7408/3BC mark scheme on markscheme.net to lock in the exam technique that secures top grades in the 2026 series.

This question paper is built for AQA A-Level Physics (7408) students who chose Engineering Physics as their Paper 3 Section B option and want authentic, exam-condition practice on the Engineering Physics topic only — without the practical-skills section diluting their option-specific revision time. It is especially valuable for aspiring mechanical, aerospace, automotive, and chemical-engineering applicants whose university courses lean heavily on rotational mechanics and thermodynamics; it is equally useful for Year 13 students entering the final stretch of revision, Year 12 students working ahead, retake candidates aiming for an A or A*, and home-schooled learners.

Physics teachers, private tutors, and Engineering Physics-option leads can use this official AQA option booklet to set timed Engineering Physics-only mocks (around 50 minutes for 35 marks), run topic walkthroughs on rotational analogues of linear motion, p-V diagram analysis, and engine-cycle calculations, benchmark progress against the most recent series, and identify weaknesses in moment-of-inertia problems, indicator-diagram work, or thermal-efficiency calculations. Parents supporting revision at home can print this paper, time their child to the official limit, and combine it with the markscheme.net mark scheme for examiner-aligned feedback.
