EASA Part-66 Module 2 (Physics) is a basic-knowledge module for A, B1, B2, B2L and B3 aircraft maintenance licence categories. For B1/B2/B2L, the examination has 52 three-option multiple-choice questions in 65 minutes; A/B3 candidates have 32 questions in 40 minutes and a narrower syllabus. The pass mark is 75%, with no penalty marking and no Module 2 essay questions. B1/B2/B2L candidates are assessed at knowledge level 2 across the 11 Module 2 syllabus items, with AMC1 Appendix II allocating 52 questions among those items. After a failed module, the normal waiting period is 90 days, reduced to 30 days after tailored retraining by an approved Part-147 organisation, and no more than three attempts at a module are permitted in any 12-month period.

Sample EASA Module 2 Physics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the EASA Module 2 Physics exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 125+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1According to the kinetic theory of matter, which statement best describes the arrangement and motion of molecules in a solid?
A.Molecules are closely packed in a fixed lattice and vibrate about fixed positions
B.Molecules are far apart and move randomly at high speed
C.Molecules are close together but are free to move past one another
D.Molecules have no motion whatsoever at any temperature
Explanation: In a solid the intermolecular forces are strong, so molecules occupy fixed positions in a regular lattice and can only vibrate about those positions, giving a solid its definite shape and volume.
2The smallest particle of a chemical element that retains the chemical properties of that element is the:
A.Molecule
B.Proton
C.Compound
D.Atom
Explanation: An atom is the smallest particle of an element that still exhibits that element's chemical identity; it consists of a nucleus of protons and neutrons surrounded by electrons.
3The change of state directly from a solid to a gas, without passing through the liquid phase, is called:
A.Condensation
B.Evaporation
C.Sublimation
D.Fusion
Explanation: Sublimation is the direct transition from the solid state to the gaseous state (for example dry ice, solid CO2, turning straight to gas) without becoming a liquid.
4In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of:
A.Neutrons
B.Nucleons
C.Ions
D.Protons
Explanation: An atom is electrically neutral when its negative electrons exactly balance its positive protons, so the electron count equals the proton (atomic) number.
5Atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are known as:
A.Isotopes
B.Ions
C.Isomers
D.Allotropes
Explanation: Isotopes share the same atomic number (proton count) but differ in neutron number, and therefore in mass number, while remaining the same chemical element.
6A substance formed when atoms of two or more different elements are chemically combined in a fixed ratio is a:
A.Mixture
B.Compound
C.Solution
D.Alloy
Explanation: A compound is a pure substance in which different elements are chemically bonded in a fixed proportion, such as water (H2O), and its properties differ from those of its constituent elements.
7When most metals are heated, they expand. This thermal expansion is primarily caused by:
A.An increase in the number of molecules
B.A chemical reaction with the surrounding air
C.A reduction in the mass of the metal
D.An increase in the average kinetic energy and amplitude of vibration of the molecules
Explanation: Heating raises the average kinetic energy of the molecules, increasing their vibrational amplitude so that the average spacing between molecules grows, which manifests as expansion.
8Which of the following is a chemical change rather than a physical change?
A.Rusting (oxidation) of iron
B.Melting of ice into water
C.Dissolving sugar in water
D.Bending an aluminium sheet
Explanation: Rusting is the oxidation of iron, forming a new chemical compound (iron oxide); a chemical change alters the substance's composition, unlike a physical change.
9The three sub-atomic particles that make up an atom are the:
A.Proton, neutron and electron
B.Proton, ion and molecule
C.Electron, neutron and isotope
D.Nucleus, shell and orbit
Explanation: An atom is composed of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons in the nucleus, with negatively charged electrons orbiting in shells around it.
10Compared with the same mass of a liquid, the molecules of a gas of that substance generally have:
A.Lower kinetic energy and closer spacing
B.Identical spacing but lower kinetic energy
C.Greater intermolecular spacing and higher kinetic energy
D.Fixed positions and no translational motion
Explanation: Gas molecules are widely spaced with weak intermolecular forces and possess higher average kinetic energy, allowing them to fill any container completely.

EASA Module 2 Physics: Suggested Study Strategy

1Practise the equations of motion (v = u + at and s = ut + 0.5at2) and the value g = 9.81 m/s2; many Module 2 questions are numerical and need quick, accurate substitution
2Memorise the core dynamics formulae: F = ma, work = F x d, power = work/time, KE = 0.5mv2, PE = mgh, and momentum = mv, and watch your SI units (newtons, joules, watts)
3Learn the difference between mass (kg, constant) and weight (N, equal to mg and varying with g), since examiners deliberately test this distinction
4Know the gas laws by name and proportionality: Boyle's law (P inversely proportional to V at constant T), Charles's law (V proportional to absolute T at constant P) and Gay-Lussac's law (P proportional to absolute T at constant V) - and convert temperatures to kelvin using the value specified in the question (273.15 for an exact Celsius-to-kelvin conversion)
5Understand Bernoulli's principle (faster flow gives lower static pressure) and the two gyroscopic properties (rigidity in space and precession 90 degrees on in the direction of rotation), as both recur in aircraft applications
6Pace yourself at roughly 75 seconds per question for the 52-question B1/B2/B2L paper, and flag calculation questions to return to so you do not lose marks on quick knowledge items

Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions are on EASA Part-66 Module 2 and how long is the exam?

For B1, B2 and B2L, the Module 2 Physics exam has 52 three-option multiple-choice questions to be answered in 65 minutes. For A and B3, it has 32 questions in 40 minutes. The pass mark is 75%.

Does Module 2 have essay questions?

No. The current Part-66 Appendix II examination table assigns Module 2 multiple-choice questions only and no essay questions.

What topics does Module 2 cover?

The current Module 2 headings are matter; statics; kinetics; dynamics items on mass, force and energy and on momentum; fluid-dynamics items on gravity and density and on viscosity, compressibility and pressure; temperature; heat; optics; and wave motion and sound. B1/B2/B2L candidates are assessed at knowledge level 2 across all 11 items; A/B3 have a narrower set of required knowledge levels.

How many attempts do I get at a Part-66 module?

After any failed module examination, the normal waiting period is 90 days. It may be reduced to 30 days when an approved Part-147 organisation provides tailored retraining in the failed subject areas. A candidate may attempt a module no more than three times in any 12-month period.

Which syllabus does the current Module 2 exam follow?

Current Module 2 requirements are in Annex III (Part-66) to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 as amended, including the syllabus changes introduced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/989. Candidates should also check later amendments and their competent authority's current examination instructions.

Why does this practice bank use four answer options when the real exam uses three?

The official EASA Part-66 exam uses 3-option multiple-choice questions. This free practice bank uses 4 options to give extra distractors for deeper learning; the underlying physics, terminology and difficulty match the real exam.

Is the UK CAA Module 2 the same as EASA?

Since Brexit the UK CAA has diverged from EASA, so syllabus details and rules can differ. This practice bank is built to the EASA (EU) 2023/989 standard; UK CAA candidates should confirm requirements with the UK CAA.
