Sample Berlin Abitur Physik LK Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Berlin Abitur Physik LK exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1According to the official Prüfungsschwerpunkte Physik 2026 (Leistungskurs) for Berlin, how is the written Abitur Prüfungsaufgabe structured?
A.Four coherent tasks (Aufgaben) are set, and each examinee chooses and completes three of them
B.Three tasks are set and all three must be completed
C.Five tasks are set and the subject teacher assigns three to each student
D.Two compulsory tasks plus one oral presentation during the exam
Explanation: The Prüfungsaufgabe consists of four Aufgaben, of which three must be worked on in the given time. The choice (Auswahl) belongs exclusively to the Prüfling; the Lehrkraft does not select tasks.
2What is the total working time for the 2026 Berlin Physics Leistungskurs written exam?
A.315 minutes plus a separate 30-minute reading phase
B.255 minutes with no selection phase
C.300 minutes, which already include an individual 30-minute reading and selection phase (Lese- und Auswahlzeit)
D.360 minutes in every case, including the experimental extension
Explanation: The Arbeitszeit for the physics Leistungskurs exam is 300 minutes, and this total already contains the 30-minute individual Lese- und Auswahlzeit. Choosing the fachpraktische task can extend an individual's time by up to 60 minutes, but the base time is 300 minutes.
3One of the four Aufgaben typically contains a fachpraktische (experimental) Teilaufgabe. What does choosing it mean for the candidate?
A.It is compulsory for all Leistungskurs candidates
B.It replaces the other two chosen written tasks
C.It shortens the total working time by 30 minutes
D.The working time may be extended by up to 60 minutes, and the extension is recorded in the Prüfungsprotokoll
Explanation: If a candidate selects the task with an experimental part, the Gesamtarbeitszeit can increase by up to 60 minutes; the exact extension is stated in the task and noted in the exam protocol. Once regular working time ends, that selection can no longer be changed.
4Which aids (Hilfsmittel) are permitted in the 2026 Berlin Physics Leistungskurs Abitur?
A.Any internet-capable tablet with a formula app
B.The class-introduced Formelsammlung matching the IQB mathematics–science formula collection, the class-introduced calculator, and a current German spelling dictionary
C.Only a non-programmable calculator; all formula collections are banned
D.A personally handwritten one-page formula sheet of the student's own design
Explanation: Permitted Hilfsmittel are: a current German Rechtschreibung dictionary, a Formelsammlung introduced in class that corresponds in content to the IQB mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche Formelsammlung, and the calculator introduced in class. Data-logging systems may be used for experiments only when blocked from the internet and unrelated files.
5Who selects which three of the four Aufgaben are completed in the Berlin Physics Leistungskurs exam, and until when can that choice change?
A.The supervising teacher decides before the exam begins
B.The school decides in advance, based on the taught Schwerpunkte
C.The examinee alone decides, and the choice may be made or changed until the end of the regular working time
D.The SenBJF exam board assigns a fixed combination to each candidate
Explanation: The Auswahl lies exclusively with the Prüfling and can be made or revised up to the end of the regular Arbeitszeit; at submission the supervisor must ensure the selection is clearly marked. Exception: a chosen fachpraktische task with extended time can no longer be dropped after regular time ends.
6How does the Berlin marking guidance treat a wrong intermediate result that is carried forward (Fehlerfortsetzung)?
A.Correctly executed later steps receive the full assigned Bewertungseinheiten, unless the earlier error made those steps substantially easier
B.All subsequent Bewertungseinheiten for that task are lost
C.Half Bewertungseinheiten may be awarded at the examiner's discretion
D.Wrong final results are simply ignored in the marking
Explanation: The Prüfungsschwerpunkte state that follow-on steps built on a wrong intermediate result earn the full Bewertungseinheiten if correctly executed, unless the error substantially simplified the remaining work. Only whole Bewertungseinheiten may be awarded, following the binding Erwartungshorizont.
7Which three Inhaltsbereiche from the KMK Bildungsstandards (BiStas AHR) does the 2026 Berlin Physics Prüfungsaufgabe draw on?
A.Mechanik, Thermodynamik und geometrische Optik
B.Elektrische und magnetische Felder; mechanische und elektromagnetische Schwingungen und Wellen; Quantenphysik und Materie
C.Kinematik, Dynamik und Astronomie
D.Festkörperphysik, Kernchemie und spezielle Relativitätstheorie
Explanation: The Prüfungsschwerpunkte 2026 name exactly three Inhaltsbereiche: electric and magnetic fields, mechanical and electromagnetic oscillations and waves, and quantum physics and matter. The tasks are assembled so that any choice of three covers at least two of these three areas.
8When is the 2026 Haupttermin for the written Physics Abitur in Berlin, and when do written exams start?
A.Monday 04.05.2026, starting at 8:00
B.Friday 15.05.2026, starting at 10:00
C.Tuesday 12.05.2026, starting at 9:00
D.Wednesday 13.05.2026, starting at 9:00
Explanation: The official Prüfungsplan 2025/26 (SenBJF) schedules the written Physics Abitur for Wednesday 13 May 2026 in the Haupttermin; all Berlin written Abitur exams begin at 9:00. Leistungsfach and 3. Prüfungsfach candidates in physics sit their central tasks on the same day.
9Two large parallel plates are 2.0 cm apart and carry a voltage of 400 V. What is the magnitude of the (approximately homogeneous) electric field between them?
A.2.0 × 10⁴ V/m
B.8.0 V/m
C.2.0 × 10² V/m
D.5.0 × 10⁻⁵ V/m
Explanation: For a homogeneous field, E = U/d = 400 V / 0.020 m = 2.0 × 10⁴ V/m. The field between parallel plates is uniform away from the edges, which is why a single value describes it.
10Two point charges interact via the Coulomb force. If the distance between them is doubled while the charges stay the same, the force…
A.drops to one half of its original value
B.drops to one quarter of its original value
C.doubles
D.stays the same, because the charges did not change
Explanation: Coulomb's law F = (1/4πε₀)·q₁q₂/r² is an inverse-square law: the force scales with 1/r². Doubling r therefore reduces F by a factor of 2² = 4.

About the Berlin Abitur Physik LK Exam

Berlin's zentrale schriftliche Abiturprüfung in Physik as Leistungsfach (Leistungskurs) assesses erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau across the Berlin-Brandenburg RLP Qualifikationsphase: Q1 gravitation and electric/magnetic fields; Q2 charged particles in fields, electromagnetic induction, and oscillations; Q3 waves and quantum objects; Q4 atoms. Papers are German, material-based, and may include a practical sub-task. This free English MCQ bank trains concept recognition and calculation judgment before students practice full official-style tasks.

Exam sponsor: Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Jugend und Familie (SenBJF), Land Berlin. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official written Physik Leistungskurs (erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau): four coherent, material-based tasks; candidate chooses three. Tasks reference BiStas AHR Inhaltsbereiche (electric/magnetic fields; mechanical and electromagnetic oscillations and waves; quantum physics and matter) and at least three Qualifikationsphase Kurshalbjahre (Q1–Q4). One of four tasks is typically offered with a fachpraktische (experimentelle) Teilaufgabe; selecting it may extend Arbeitszeit by up to 60 minutes as stated in the task. Marking uses Erwartungshorizont Bewertungseinheiten with Fehlerfortsetzung rules; only whole BE. This 100-question English MCQ bank is a study adaptation only—it does not simulate official German constructed-response format, selection strategy, or experimental performance.

Time Limit

300 minutes including 30 minutes Lese- und Auswahlzeit (PS Physik 2026 LK; AV Prüfungen Anlage 5b Physik Leistungskursfach 300 Min. + ggf. Zeitverlängerung fachpraktische Aufgabe). Abitur 2026: PHYSIK LF+3.pf main date 13.05.2026; Nachtermin 03.06.2026 (Prüfungsplan).

Passing Score

Subject results use Bewertungseinheiten converted to Notenpunkte (0–15). Overall Abitur depends on Gesamtqualifikation (up to 900 points; Block I up to 600, Block II up to 300) under Berlin VO-GO rules—not a single MCQ percent cut score.

Exam / Certification Fees

Regular school candidates do not pay a separate published statewide Physik-LK subject fee; the exam is taken through the Berlin Oberstufe pathway. External-candidate fees, if any, are authority-specific and not invented here.
