O Level Physics (Cambridge (CAIE) 5054) is examined in the May/June and Oct/Nov series. Tayyari Karo has real questions from 2021 to 2026 across Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 3, Paper 4, covering topics such as Practical, Electricity, Thermal physics, Forces and Waves. The fastest way to improve is to work through real questions and read why each answer is right.
Tayyari Karo collects the real Cambridge (CAIE) Physics questions in one place, sorted by paper and topic. 440 of them are multiple choice and marked instantly, and the rest are structured questions with a full model answer.
These are real past-paper questions. Think of your answer first, then open the explanation.
Which row shows a possible mass and weight of an object on the Earth's surface?
[gravitational field strength g = 10 N / kg]
Answer: D. mass 5 kg, weight 50 N
Weight = mass × g, so 5 kg × 10 N / kg = 50 N; the other rows do not satisfy W = mg.
A sealed gas syringe contains a fixed mass of gas.
The piston is moved and the volume of the gas doubles. The temperature of the gas does not change.
What happens to the pressure of the gas?
Answer: A. halves
For a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature pV is constant, so doubling the volume halves the pressure.
At a depth d in sea-water, the total pressure experienced by a diver is 2P, where P is atmospheric pressure.
At which depth is the total pressure 4P ?
Answer: C. 3d
At depth d the water alone contributes 2P − P = P, and pressure in a liquid is proportional to depth, so 3P from the water needs a depth of 3d, giving a total of 4P.
Some solar panels have a total area of 12 m².
Each 1.0 m² of the panels receives 0.85 kJ of energy from the Sun in 1.0 s.
The efficiency of the panels is 16%.
How much power do they produce?
Answer: A. 1.6 kW
The input power is 12 × 850 = 10 200 W, and 16% of this is 0.16 × 10 200 = 1632 W, about 1.6 kW.
