Keep checking this page. The free WAEC Physics questions and answers will be posted here on a day before the examination.
Before then, let’s show you some repeated Physics Practical questions that WAEC can’t do without bringing them out.
The Physics Practical question paper will consist of three areas and general Physics questions namely:
- Optics
- Electricity
- Mechanics
You will be expected to carry out an experiment, take readings and tabulate your values, plot graph, state precautions taken during the experiment, and report observations.

Physics Practical Answers
1. (a)
Sn Lcm 11 (s) 12(s)
(ix) slope = 1.75-1.00/9.0-4.7 = 0.75/4.3 S/cm = 0.174S/cm
(x) g = 4n2/S2 = 4 x (3.142)2/(0.174)cm/s = 1,303cm/s
(xi) The precautions taken to ensure accurate results.
- I avoided conical oscillation
- I avoided zero error on the stopwatch
- I ensured that the bob did not touch the table.
b(i) When L = 75cm
Square root of L = Square root of 75 = 8.66cm
T = 1.675S
2. (a)
(ix) Slope = 2.9-0.4/90 – 47 = 0.0581
(x) Intercept on the horizontal axis = 40.0cm
(xi) k = c/2 = 40.0/2 = 20.0cm
(xii) Precautions
- I avoided zero error on the meter rule
- I avoided parallax error in reading meter rule
- I made sure the surface of the lens is cleared
- I made sure that the lens was kept upright
2. (b)
(i) The focal length of a converging lens in 20cm means that the distance between the optical centre and the lens is 20cm.
(ii) 1/x + 1/v = 1/f
m = v/x > 5= v/x
v = 5x
1/x + 1/5x = 1/20
6/5x = 1/20
x = 24cm
3.
(x) Precautions
- I ensured tight connections
- I avoided zero error on the ammeter
- I avoided parallax error when taking reading on the ammeter
(b) (i)
when I = 1.5A
log 1-1 = log [1/15]s
= log 0.67
= 0.174
when log 1-1 = 0.174
d = 10cm
(ii) Factors affecting resistance
- Thickness of wire
- The cross-sectional area of the wire
- Temperature
