EASA Part-66 Module 2 (Physics) is a basic-knowledge module for the EASA Aircraft Maintenance Licence taken by aspiring B1 and B2 aircraft engineers. The exam is multiple-choice - 52 questions in 65 minutes for Cat B1/B2, and 32 questions in 40 minutes for Cat A - with a pass mark of 75% and no essay questions (essays remain only in Module 7). Content spans matter (atomic structure, states and changes of state), mechanics divided into statics (forces, moments, centre of gravity, stress/strain, Hooke's law, pressure and buoyancy), kinetics (linear and circular motion, periodic motion, resonance, mechanical advantage) and dynamics (Newton's laws, work, power, energy, momentum, impulse, gyroscopic principles and friction), plus fluid dynamics (density, viscosity, Bernoulli), thermodynamics (temperature, heat, gas laws) and optics and wave motion. Candidates may attempt a maximum of three consecutive times with a 90-day wait after a third fail, and the module is examined to the (EU) 2023/989 syllabus applicable from 12 June 2024 (legacy courses must finish under the old standard by 12 June 2026).

Sample EASA Module 2 Physics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your EASA Module 2 Physics exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ 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 Study Tips from Top Performers

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 always convert temperatures to kelvin (add 273)
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 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 Category B1 and B2 the Module 2 Physics exam has 52 multiple-choice questions to be answered in 65 minutes (about 75 seconds per question). For Category A it is 32 questions in 40 minutes. The pass mark is 75% per module.

Does Module 2 have essay questions?

No. Module 2 is entirely multiple-choice. Under the (EU) 2023/989 changes that applied from June 2024, essays remain only in Module 7; the essays in Modules 9 and 10 were removed. Module 2 has always been multiple-choice only.

What topics does Module 2 cover?

Module 2 covers matter (atomic structure, states of matter), mechanics split into statics, kinetics and dynamics (forces, moments, motion, Newton's laws, work, energy, momentum, gyroscopics and friction), fluid dynamics (density, viscosity, Bernoulli), and thermodynamics, optics and wave motion (heat, gas laws, light and sound).

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

A candidate may sit a module a maximum of three consecutive times, with a minimum 90-day waiting period before re-sitting after a third unsuccessful attempt, in line with EASA Part-66 rules at the examining organisation.

Which syllabus does the current Module 2 exam follow?

Examinations follow the syllabus in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/989, applicable from 12 June 2024. Courses started under the previous standard had to be completed under it by 12 June 2026, so new study should target the 2023/989 syllabus.

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.
