Sample QCE Year 12 Physics questions

These sample questions are visible on the page before login. They show QCE Year 12 Physics motion graphs, fields, induction, wave interference, photoelectric data, and experimental graphs with diagrams and graphs before opening the demo.

QCE Year 12 Physics Projectile motion hard projectile diagram

1. A projectile's horizontal velocity is 24 m/s and its flight time is 2.0 s. What horizontal range is predicted?

QCE 12 projectile range 24 m/s 48 m 2.0 s
Choices
  • 48 m
  • 12 m
  • 26 m
  • 96 m
Explanation:

Horizontal range is horizontal velocity multiplied by time: 24 x 2.0 = 48 m.

QCE Year 12 Physics Electric fields hard field diagram

2. The field arrows point to the right between two plates. What direction is the force on an electron placed between them?

QCE 12 electron in field + - + plate - plate electron
Choices
  • To the left
  • To the right
  • Upward
  • Zero
Explanation:

An electron is negatively charged, so its force is opposite the electric field direction.

QCE Year 12 Physics Electromagnetic induction hard flux graph

3. The flux-time graph changes most rapidly in the first labelled interval. What does this imply about the induced emf?

QCE 12 induction graph 0.2 s 0.6 s flux t
Choices
  • It has greatest magnitude in that interval
  • It is zero in that interval
  • It is smallest in that interval
  • It depends only on total flux
Explanation:

Faraday's law links induced emf magnitude to the rate of flux change, so the largest gradient gives the largest magnitude.

QCE Year 12 Physics Standing waves hard standing-wave diagram

4. A standing wave has wavelength 1.6 m and wave speed 320 m/s. What frequency is represented?

QCE 12 standing-wave frequency 1.6 m 320 m/s f
Choices
  • 200 Hz
  • 512 Hz
  • 2 Hz
  • 321.6 Hz
Explanation:

Use v = f lambda, so f = 320 / 1.6 = 200 Hz.

QCE Year 12 Physics Photoelectric effect hard photoelectric graph

5. The kinetic-energy graph crosses the frequency axis at 5.2 x 1014 Hz. What is the threshold frequency?

QCE 12 photoelectric graph 5.2 x 10^14 Hz frequency max KE
Choices
  • 5.2 x 1014 Hz
  • 2.6 x 1014 Hz
  • 1.04 x 1015 Hz
  • 5.2 J
Explanation:

The threshold frequency is read at the x-intercept of the photoelectric graph.

QCE Year 12 Physics Transformers hard transformer diagram

6. A transformer has 120 primary turns and 360 secondary turns. With 80 V on the primary, what secondary voltage is ideal?

QCE 12 step-up transformer 120 turns 360 turns load
Choices
  • 240 V
  • 26.7 V
  • 80 V
  • 560 V
Explanation:

The turns ratio is 360 / 120 = 3, so the secondary voltage is 80 x 3 = 240 V.

For parents comparing QCE Year 12 Physics support

QCE Year 12 Physics practice should help students connect equations to visible evidence: motion graphs, fields, induction, wave interference, photoelectric data, and experimental graphs. These examples preview that visual reasoning before the no-login Physics demo.
