Why build your own physics card set

Edexcel A level physics covers mechanics, electricity, waves, particle physics and practical skills, so a focused set of A level physics flashcards makes it easier to recall definitions, units and equations under exam conditions.

  • Cards built from your own Edexcel notes, slides and past paper PDFs
  • Spaced repetition that brings back the cards you miss most
  • Study in the browser on the free plan, with no credit card needed
  • Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for printing or sharing
Example A level physics flashcards for Edexcel
State Ohm's law.At constant temperature, the potential difference across a conductor is proportional to the current through it, so V = IR.
What is the SI unit of magnetic flux density?The tesla (T), which is equivalent to N A⁻¹ m⁻¹.
State Newton's second law of motion.The resultant force on a body equals its rate of change of momentum, so F = Δp/Δt, which gives F = ma for constant mass.
What is the threshold frequency in the photoelectric effect?The minimum frequency of incident radiation needed to emit photoelectrons from a surface, since no emission occurs below it regardless of intensity.
Define specific heat capacity.The energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 K, given by c = E/(mΔθ).

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, Word files, plain notes or photos of pages, and the flashcards come from what your teacher actually gave you.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, so definitions and equations stay in memory until the exam rather than being crammed the night before.

Export when you need it

Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, so you can print a set for a study group or move it into the app you already use.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF of your Edexcel topic notes, a slide deck or a photo of a textbook page. Text is read from images as well as documents.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl writes question and answer cards from the material. Check them and remove anything that does not match your specification.

Study on a schedule

Review cards in the browser each day. The spacing adjusts to how well you remember each one, so your revision time goes to the weakest topics.

A printed revision pack shows the same content to everyone, but your class may have covered topics in a different order or emphasized different practicals. Generating cards from your own notes keeps the set matched to what you were taught.

Review a small batch every day instead of one long session before the exam. Spaced repetition keeps older topics from fading while you work on new ones.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for A level physics?

Aim for one card per definition, law, unit and equation in each topic, which often adds up to several hundred across the full course. Start with one topic at a time so the set stays manageable.

What should go on the back of a physics flashcard?

Put the definition or equation on the back, along with its units and a short note on when it applies. For calculation cards, try working through a numerical example from memory before checking the answer.

Can I export my physics flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included in the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study your flashcards in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
