Physics question

BL1993

When they ask you for the definition for lets say, resistance or potential difference, is it acceptable to give the formula and the correct notation? I am fully aware that they are in the log tables but in last year's paper, they asked for the moment of a force and an accepted answer was the formula (M=Fd) with the correct notation.

as long as you say what the variables are, then it's usually accepted. Granted they might change the marking scheme but it has always been acceptable to give a mathematical definition where possible

I'm surprised a player of your caliber doesn't know this But yea it's acceptable for almost all definitions. Just put down the formula and you're good to go bro

Additional question.. If I try to write the worded definition but it's not entirely accurate, and I also write the formula with variables explained, would I get full marks?

Yea they'll give it to you. As long as one of them is right your all good
