Description
This is a unique PowerPoint presentation on Gravitation. It has
been prepared with special objectives to build a basic to
advanced understanding and concepts of the contents of
gravitation. Special attention has been paid to synchronizing
course contents with past paper questions that could be equally
helpful for attempting multiple-choice and structured questions.
This would be very helpful and productive for the students
following IGCSE, O-Level, AS-level, A-level, and IB (SL and
HL) Physics curricula affiliated with CAIE, Edexcel, and AQA
boards.
Dr. M. Zubair PhD.
Associate Professor of Physics
