2025 OCR GCSE Physics B Twenty First Century Science Paper 2 and Mark Scheme Combined (J259/02 Depth in physics (Foundation Tier)

  • For Foundation‑tier students taking Physics B, J259/02 (Depth in physics) is Paper 2.

  • It is 90 marks, 1 hour 45 minutes, and constitutes 50% of the total GCSE Physics B grade. 

  • The content assessed draws from the same eight teaching chapters as Paper 1 — namely: Radiation and waves; Sustainable energy; Electric circuits; Explaining motion; Radioactive materials; Matter: models and explanations; Ideas about science; and Practical skills. 

  • The exam tests a range of physics knowledge, understanding, application, and practical‑skills related questions — similar to Breadth paper but with “depth” emphasis.
