Electronics and systems — AS & A Level Design And Technology (9705) questions by topic
Electronics and systems questions ask you to identify and describe components in a real circuit, such as the transistor in a simple torch running from a 9 V supply, design a security system focused on a shop's door and window, or modify features on a desk tidy that includes an LED and a hinged lamp casing. Describe and identify cover naming and explaining a component's function, while design and modify direct the creative work.
Only 5 questions from 2023 to 2025 sit here, worth from 8 to 80 marks, so each carries substantial design weight. A circuit or system design is marked on whether every stated component actually does the job the scenario describes, so submitting a labelled sketch for instant marking checks that function and component choice line up before a design is built around a misunderstood part.
