AQA GCSE Physics Electrical Power P = VI Lesson Pack | Presentation + Workbook | EVERY Method +Answers
AQA GCSE Physics electrical power P = VI lesson pack. Teaching slides + workbook on power and energy in domestic circuits. AQA 4.2 Foundation Higher.
The complete teach-and-practise sequence for AQA GCSE Physics P = VI. The first electrical power equation learners meet, and the one they use across domestic appliance questions on Paper 1 and Paper 2. The presentation introduces P = VI through real domestic contexts (kettles, hairdryers, electric heaters). The workbook gives twenty scaffolded questions that build to multi-step problems linking power, energy and time.
What's inside:
Resource 1 — Electrical Power (P=VI) Teaching Presentation (PDF). P = V × I derivation from energy per second. Worked examples on domestic appliances with realistic power ratings. Link to E = P × t for total energy transferred. Guided practice and exam-style questions.
Resource 2 — Electrical Power (P=VI) Calculations Workbook (PDF). 20 scaffolded P = VI questions. Q1-Q6 direct substitution, Q7-Q14 rearranging for V or I, Q15-Q20 multi-step with E = P × t and unit conversion (watts to kilowatts, joules to kilojoules to kilowatt-hours). Full worked answers using the EVERY method.
AQA specification reference: 4.2 Electricity, section 4.2.1 (current, potential difference and resistance) and 4.2.4 (energy transfers in domestic appliances). Foundation and Higher. Suitable for AQA GCSE Physics 8463 and Combined Science Trilogy 8464.
The EVERY method: Equation, Values, Enter, Rearrange, Your units. Power questions catch learners on unit conversion (kW to W, kWh to J). The method forces the unit step on every question.
Who it's for: AQA GCSE Physics teachers planning a domestic-electricity lesson, science department leads, GCSE tutors, parents supporting Year 10 and Year 11 learners through revision, and homeschool families on the UK national curriculum.
