IB Physics HL Notes

Physics

Aimnova provides free IB Physics Higher Level revision notes for the first-exams-2025 syllabus, covering all five themes plus the HL-only extensions — rotational dynamics, deeper thermodynamics, motion in fields, and quantum and nuclear physics. Each topic features detailed concept notes, labelled diagrams, worked examples, exam tips, flashcards, and practice questions with AI feedback.

IB Physics Higher Level extends the SL course with extra depth in every theme and a heavier mathematical load — angular momentum, entropy and the second law, gravitational and electric potential, induction, and the quantum and nuclear models. HL papers are longer and demand more rigorous derivation and evaluation than SL.

Use the theme-by-theme structure below to revise systematically and ensure no HL-only material is missed before Paper 1A (multiple choice), Paper 1B (data analysis) and Paper 2 (structured questions).

What's included

  • All 5 themes (A–E) plus experimental skills, aligned to the first-exams-2025 syllabus
  • Concept notes with labelled diagrams, vectors, and field representations
  • Worked numerical examples using the IB data booklet equations
  • Spaced-repetition flashcards for definitions, units, and constants
  • IB-style practice questions with AI marking and feedback
  • Guidance for Paper 1A (MCQ), Paper 1B (data), and Paper 2 (structured)
  • SL and HL coverage with level toggle
  • Free to access — no account required for notes

How to use Physics HL notes

  1. 1Start with a unit overview. Click any Theme heading to see every topic and the key physics it covers.
  2. 2Read micro-topic notes. Read one topic at a time and follow the concept, the diagram, and the full worked calculation.
  3. 3Test with flashcards. Use Physics flashcards to lock in definitions, SI units, constants, and key equations.
  4. 4Practise exam questions. Apply the method to IB-style questions and get AI feedback on where marks are won and lost.
