1. Motion Graphs and Gradient Confusion | 运动图像与斜率混淆
One of the most common errors is misinterpreting the information from distance–time and velocity–time graphs. Students frequently mix up the meaning of gradient and area in these two graph types.
最常见错误之一是混淆距离–时间图与速度–时间图的信息。学生常常把两种图像中斜率和面积的含义搞混。
In a distance–time graph, the gradient gives speed; a horizontal line means the object is stationary. In a velocity–time graph, the gradient gives acceleration, and the area under the graph represents displacement (or distance travelled). A flat line on a velocity–time graph means constant velocity, not rest.
在距离–时间图中，斜率表示速率，水平线表示物体静止。在速度–时间图中，斜率表示加速度，图像下的面积表示位移（或路程）。速度–时间图中的水平线表示匀速运动，而不是静止。
Pitfall: treating the gradient of a velocity–time graph as distance, or assuming a horizontal line on a v–t graph means the object has stopped. Always check the axis labels carefully before interpreting.
陷阱：把速度–时间图的斜率当做距离，或认为 v–t 图中的水平线意味着物体已经停止。务必在解读前仔细检查坐标轴标注。
| Graph Type | Gradient | Area Under Graph |
|---|---|---|
| Distance–time | Speed | Not used |
| Velocity–time | Acceleration | Displacement |
When calculating acceleration from a velocity–time graph, use a = (v – u) / t. Students sometimes pick incorrect time intervals or misread the velocity change, especially if the graph does not start from rest.
从速度–时间图计算加速度时，使用 a = (v – u) / t。学生有时选取错误的时间段或误读速度变化量，特别是当图像并非从静止开始时。
2. Newton's Laws and Momentum | 牛顿定律与动量
Many learners confuse balanced forces with Newton's third-law action–reaction pairs. Balanced forces act on the same object and produce no acceleration. Action–reaction forces act on two different objects, never cancelling each other's effect on a single body.
许多学生混淆平衡力与牛顿第三定律的作用力–反作用力对。平衡力作用在同一物体上，不产生加速度；作用力与反作用力分别作用在两个不同物体上，永远不会在单一物体上相互抵消。
In momentum problems, vector direction is everything. Forgetting to assign a positive direction and hence positive/negative signs to velocities is a classic error. In a collision where objects bounce back, one velocity must become negative relative to your chosen positive direction.
在动量问题中，矢量方向至关重要。忘记设定正方向并给速度赋正负号是典型错误。在物体反弹的碰撞中，相对于你选定的正方向，一个速度必须变为负值。
Momentum is conserved in all collisions and explosions, as long as no external resultant force acts. Equation:
p = m × v
(unit: kg m/s or N s). Kinetic energy is only conserved in elastic collisions; many students wrongly apply energy conservation to all collision types.动量守恒适用于所有碰撞和爆炸，只要没有外合力作用。公式：p = m × v（单位：kg m/s 或 N s）。动能仅在弹性碰撞中守恒；许多学生错误地将能量守恒应用于所有碰撞类型。
3. Work, Energy and Efficiency | 功、能与效率
Energy calculations demand careful attention to units. The most frequent slip is using mass in grams instead of kilograms. Kinetic energy Ek = ½ m v²; forgetting to square the velocity before multiplying by half the mass is a costly mistake.
能量计算需特别注意单位。最常见失误是使用克而非千克作为质量单位。动能 Eₖ = ½ m v²；忘记先将速度平方再乘以一半质量是一个代价高昂的错误。
Work done is given by W = F d, where d is the distance moved in the direction of the force. Students sometimes use the total distance even when the force is perpendicular to part of the motion, yielding an incorrect work value.
功的公式为 W = F d，其中 d 是沿力方向移动的距离。学生有时会使用总路程，即使力与部分运动方向垂直，从而得出错误的功值。
Efficiency is often reversed. Remember: Efficiency = (useful output energy / total input energy) × 100%. If your answer exceeds 100%, you have swapped the numerator and denominator. Always identify what is 'useful' and what is 'wasted' before substituting numbers.
效率经常被颠倒。记住：效率 = (有用输出能量 / 总输入能量) × 100%。如果你的答案超过 100%，说明你把分子分母弄反了。代入数值前一定要分清哪个是“有用”能量，哪个是“浪费”能量。
4. Wave Properties and the Wave Equation | 波的特性与波方程
A deep misunderstanding arises between period and frequency. The period T is the time for one complete oscillation (seconds), and frequency f is the number of oscillations per second (Hz): f = 1/T. Students occasionally use frequency where period is required, and vice versa.
周期与频率之间常产生深刻误解。周期 T 是一次完整振动所需的时间（秒），频率 f 是每秒振动次数（Hz）：f = 1/T。学生有时在该用周期的地方用了频率，反之亦然。
From a displacement–distance graph you measure wavelength λ; from a displacement–time graph you measure period T. A classic blunder is reading wavelength from a displacement–time graph – this yields zero marks.
从位移–距离图上测量波长 λ；从位移–时间图上测量周期 T。一个经典错误是从位移–时间图上读取波长——这会导致完全失分。
The wave equation v = f λ must use consistent units: speed in m/s, frequency in Hz, wavelength in m. Transposing the equation incorrectly is another frequent slip. Double-check by asking whether v should be larger than f and λ – it often helps catch errors.
波方程 v = f λ 必须使用一致的单位：速度用 m/s，频率用 Hz，波长用 m。错误地移项也是常见失误。你可以检查一下 v 是否应大于 f 和 λ——这常有助于发现错误。
5. Reflection and Refraction of Light | 光的反射与折射
In Snell's law, angles are always measured between the ray and the normal (the dashed line perpendicular to the surface). A persistent error is measuring from the boundary itself. If you do this, even a correctly drawn diagram will produce a wrong result.
在斯涅尔定律中，角度总是测量光线与法线（垂直于表面的虚线）之间的夹角。一个顽固错误就是从界面本身测量角度。如果这样做，即使图画对了也会得出错误结果。
Total internal reflection (TIR) only occurs when light travels from a denser medium to a less dense medium, and the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. Many candidates incorrectly apply TIR to light entering water from air, or forget to state both conditions.
全内反射（TIR）只发生在光从光密介质射向光疏介质且入射角大于临界角时。很多考生错误地把 TIR 应用于从空气进入水中的光线，或者忘记陈述这两个条件。
Ray diagrams for lenses and mirrors must have arrows showing the direction of light. Missing arrows or drawing the wrong type of lens for a given scenario are simple but expensive mistakes.
透镜和反射镜的光线图必须带有表示光传播方向的箭头。遗漏箭头或画错透镜类型都是简单却代价高昂的失误。
n = sin i / sin r
6. Ohm's Law and V–I Characteristics | 欧姆定律与伏安特性曲线
Ohm' uctors at constant temperature. Applying it uncritically to non-ohmic components such as a filament lamp or diode leads to conceptual errors. In a filament lamp, resistance increases with current because the wire heats up; the V–I graph curves, so resistance is not constant.
欧姆定律 (V = IR) 仅适用于恒温下的欧姆导体。不加辨别地将其用于灯丝或二极管等非欧姆元件会导致概念错误。在灯丝中，电流增大引起温度升高，电阻会增大；V–I 图是弯曲的，因此电阻不是常数。
Students frequently forget to convert milliamperes (mA) to amperes (A) by dividing by 1000. A reading of 230 mA must be entered into calculations as 0.230 A, otherwise the resistance value will be inflated by a factor of 1000.
学生常常忘记将毫安 (mA) 除以 1000 转换为安 (A)。230 mA 的读数在代入计算时必须写为 0.230 A，否则电阻值会夸大 1000 倍。
When drawing or interpreting the I–V graph for a diode, remember that current flows
