AQA A Level Physics Paper 2 June 2025 Question Paper

Official AQA A-level Physics Paper 2 (7408/2) question paper from the June 2025 exam series, sat on Monday 9 June 2025 (morning). Duration 2 hours; total 85 marks. The paper has two sections: Section A contains six structured long-answer questions (Q1–Q6) covering nuclear physics, thermal physics, gravitational fields, capacitors, and combined gravitational, magnetic and electric fields; Section B is 25 multiple-choice questions (Q7–Q31).

Topics assessed include the nuclear radius from alpha-particle scattering and electron diffraction, the kinetic theory of gases, radioactive decay and an RTG case study on Mars, gravitational potential and orbits around Saturn, capacitor charge/discharge with dielectrics, and ions in Jupiter's plasma torus. Use this paper for timed practice and exam preparation alongside the official mark scheme and the AQA Data and Formulae Booklet.

This question paper is for A-level Physics students sitting the AQA 7408 specification, especially those preparing for Paper 2, which focuses on Sections 6–8 of the specification (Further Mechanics & Thermal Physics, Fields & Their Consequences, and Nuclear Physics). It suits Year 13 students, students retaking A-level Physics, and home-educated learners who want authentic past-paper practice under timed conditions. Teachers and tutors will also find it useful for setting mock exams, building topic-based revision sessions, and identifying common student misconceptions.
