Follow me on Twitter: @BobEagle2 This YouTube channel contains a series of Physics videos which are intended to give a basic introduction to the subjects covered. They explain the essence of the subject in as simple as way as possible. They assume basic knowledge of algebra and calculus and some general physics. UK A levels are broadly equivalent to USA AP/ SATs. UK GCSEs are broadly equivalent to US high school diploma. Dr PhysicsA has a BSc (physics) and PhD (nuclear physics) from King's College, London. Videos are organised into playlists: A Level Physics Revision GCSE Physics Revision A Le
