The preliminary physics competition in senior high school covers the following fields:

1. Mechanics: kinematics, dynamics, object balance, momentum, mechanical energy, angular quantity, central motion, rigid body, fluid mechanics, vibration and fluctuation.

2. Thermodynamics: molecular dynamics theory, nature of gas, first law of thermodynamics, second law of thermodynamics, nature of liquid, nature of solid, change of state of matter, heat transfer mode, thermal expansion?

3. Electromagnetism: electrostatic field, steady current, conductivity of matter, magnetic field, electromagnetic induction, alternating current, electromagnetic oscillation and electromagnetic wave.

4. Optics: geometric optics and wave optics.

5. Modern physics: the nature of light, atomic structure, nucleus, particles, special relativity, solar system, galaxy, universe and black hole.

6. System of Units: International System of Units and Dimensional Analysis.

7. Mathematical basis: all elementary mathematics (including analytic geometry), calculus and its application in middle school.

Extended data:

The national high school physics competition is divided into preliminaries, semi-finals and finals. The preliminaries are organized by the National Competition Committee and take the form of written examination. All middle school students can sign up for the preliminaries. Students with excellent results in preliminaries are recommended by prefectures, cities and counties, such as participating in the semi-finals. The rematch includes two parts: theory and experiment. The theoretical part is unified by the National Competition Committee, with a full score of 320.

The experimental part is put forward by the competition committees of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government, with a full score of 80. According to the theory of the rematch and the total score of the experiment, the competition committees of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government recommend students with excellent results to participate in the finals. The final is proposed and awarded by the National Competition Committee. There are about 50 first prizes, 50 second prizes 150 and 200 third prizes in each final. In addition, there are individual special awards such as the best total score award, the best theoretical score award, the best experimental score award and the best female classmate score award.
