A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/12/O/N/22

Explanation
Physical quantities are measurable properties in physics with defined units
Steps:
- Define a physical quantity as a property like mass or length that can be measured using standard units in physics.
- Evaluate each option: flavour is a sensory attribute, not measurable in physics; kelvin is a unit for temperature; minute is a unit for time; potential difference is a measurable electrical property.
- Confirm potential difference fits as it is quantified in volts via Ohm's law (V = IR).
- Select the option that matches the definition of a physical quantity.
Why D is correct:
- Potential difference, or voltage, is a physical quantity in electromagnetism, defined as work per unit charge (V = W/Q) and measured in volts.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Flavour is a qualitative sensory or chemical property, not a measurable physical quantity in physics.
- B: Kelvin is the SI unit for temperature, not the quantity itself (the quantity is temperature).
- C: Minute is a unit of time, not the physical quantity (the quantity is time).
Final answer: D
