Free Tutorials Available for UTME Candidates Writing Physics

Physics is the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms.

The subject is quite broad and you can see the UTME syllabus here. 

However, here are a few tutorials that students might find helpful:

Physics 101: Vectors and Scalars

Topics explored include mathematical skills for science, physical quantities and units, scientific method, scalars and vectors as well as vectors in two dimensions.

Physics 102: One-Dimensional Motion

Topics explored include reference frames, speed, velocity, acceleration, instantaneous velocity, description of motion, equations of motion, and vertical projectile motion.

Physics 103: Newton’s Laws

Topics explored include forces, types of forces Newton’s first, second and third laws of motion, Newton’s law of universal gravitation as well as forces between masses.

Physics 104: Work, Energy and Power

Topics explored include mechanical, potential and kinetic energy, conservation of mechanical energy, work, work-energy theorem, conservation of energy and power.

Physics 105: Momentum and Impulse

Topics explored include momentum, a revisitation of Newton’s second law in terms of momentum, conservation of momentum, elastic and inelastic collisions and impulse.

Physics 106: Mechanical Waves and Sound

Topics explored include pulses, superposition of pulses, transverse and longitudinal waves, crests, troughs, amplitude, wavelength, period, frequency and wave speeds.

Physics 107: Electric Charges and Fields

Topics explored include the two kinds of charge, principle of conservation of charge, conductors and insulators, quantization of charge, Coulomb’s law and electric fields.

Physics 108: Electric Circuits

Topics explored include potential difference, emf, current, resistance, series and parallel resistors, Ohm’s law, power, electrical energy, batteries and internal resistance.

Physics 109: Magnetism and Faraday’s Law

Topics explored include magnetic fields, permanent magnets, the compass, electromagnetism, Faraday’s law, electrical generators, motors and alternating current.

Physics 110: Electromagnetic Waves and Radiation

Topics explored include wave-like nature of em radiation, electromagnetic spectrum, particle-like nature of em radiation, wavefronts, diffraction and Doppler effect.

Physics 111: Optics and Optical Phenomena

Topics explored include light rays, properties of light, speed of light, refraction, Snell’s law, total internal reflection, photoelectric effect, emission and absorption spectra.

These tutorials do not cover all the topics indicated in the UTME syllabus but we hope they prove helpful.

All the best!
