Why build your own IB physics flashcards

Ready-made IB physics flashcards often skip the exact wording your teacher used and the topics your course emphasizes. Cards made from your own notes and past paper material match what you will be asked in class and on the exam.

Cards built from your own lecture slides and notes
Formulas paired with what each symbol means and its units
Spaced repetition to schedule review of weak cards
Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan for use on other devices

Example IB physics flashcards on forces, light and radioactivity

What is the difference between scalar and vector quantities?Scalars have magnitude only, such as mass or energy. Vectors have both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or force.

State Newton's second law of motion.The net force on an object equals its mass times its acceleration, F = ma, with the force and acceleration in the same direction.

What is the photoelectric effect?Electrons are emitted from a metal surface when light of sufficient frequency shines on it. Below the threshold frequency no electrons are emitted, however bright the light.

Define specific heat capacity.The energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 K, with units of J kg^-1 K^-1.

What does the half-life of a radioactive isotope mean?The time taken for half the nuclei in a sample to decay. It is constant for a given isotope and does not depend on the amount present.

Generate the full set

Works from your own material

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of textbook pages. Photos are read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition

Cards come back at the intervals that help you remember them, so you spend less time rereading the same definitions before a test.

Study anywhere

Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV for offline review.

How it works

Upload your physics material

Add a PDF, slide deck, notes file or photo of a page from your IB physics course.

Generate the flashcards

The AI pulls out key terms, laws, and formulas and writes a front and back for each one.

Study and review

Work through the deck in the browser and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you miss.

Good physics cards test one idea at a time: a definition, a law to state, a unit, or the meaning of a symbol in a formula. Keeping each card to a single prompt makes it easier to tell which concepts you actually know.

Review the deck in short sessions across the week rather than one long session before the test. Spaced repetition handles the timing so you can focus on the physics.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for IB physics?

There is no fixed number, but aim for one card per definition, law, or formula you need to recall in an exam. Work through one topic at a time, such as kinematics or waves, so each deck stays manageable.

What should go on the front and back of a physics flashcard?

Put one prompt on the front, such as a definition, a law to state, or a step in a problem. Keep the back to the answer with its units, and for formulas include what each symbol means.

Can I export my physics flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. The Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Is spaced repetition included in the free plan?

Spaced repetition is listed with the Plus plan, which also gives unlimited generations. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start.
