Sample AP Inter Physics (BIEAP) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the AP Inter Physics (BIEAP) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which of the following is a derived SI unit?
A.metre
B.kilogram
C.second
D.newton
Explanation: The newton is the SI unit of force and is derived from base units as kg·m/s². Metre, kilogram, and second are SI base units.
2A car moves with constant velocity. The net force acting on the car is:
A.equal to its weight
B.equal to its mass times velocity
C.zero
D.directed opposite to the velocity
Explanation: Newton's first law implies that constant velocity requires zero net force. Weight may be balanced by normal force, but the vector sum of all forces is zero.
3The dimensional formula of force is:
A.[M L T^-2]
B.[M L^2 T^-2]
C.[M L T^-1]
D.[M^0 L T^-2]
Explanation: Force F = ma. Mass contributes [M] and acceleration contributes [L T^-2], so force has dimensions [M L T^-2].
4If a body starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 2 m/s^2 for 5 s, its final velocity is:
A.5 m/s
B.10 m/s
C.2.5 m/s
D.20 m/s
Explanation: Using v = u + at with u = 0: v = 0 + (2 m/s^2)(5 s) = 10 m/s.
5Work done by a force is zero when the force is:
A.parallel to displacement
B.antiparallel to displacement
C.perpendicular to displacement
D.always in the same direction as velocity
Explanation: Work W = F·s = Fs cosθ. When θ = 90°, cos90° = 0, so work is zero.
6The SI unit of power is the:
A.joule
B.watt
C.newton
D.pascal
Explanation: Power is the rate of doing work. One watt equals one joule per second (1 W = 1 J/s).
7Acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is directed:
A.radially outward from Earth
B.tangentially to Earth's surface
C.toward Earth's centre (approximately vertically downward locally)
D.horizontally toward the east
Explanation: Gravitational acceleration g points toward Earth's centre. Locally near the surface this is treated as vertically downward.
8Hooke's law for a spring states that restoring force is:
A.inversely proportional to extension
B.proportional to extension and opposite the displacement from equilibrium
C.proportional to the square of extension
D.independent of extension
Explanation: Hooke's law: F = -kx. The restoring force is proportional to extension (or compression) and opposite the displacement from equilibrium.
9The first law of thermodynamics is essentially a statement of:
A.conservation of charge
B.conservation of energy
C.conservation of momentum
D.increase of entropy
Explanation: The first law expresses conservation of energy for a thermodynamic system (internal energy related to heat and work).
10In simple harmonic motion, acceleration is:
A.constant
B.maximum at the mean position
C.maximum at the extreme positions
D.always zero
Explanation: For SHM, a = -ω^2 x. Acceleration magnitude is largest when |x| is largest at the extreme positions, and is zero at the mean position.

About the AP Inter Physics (BIEAP) Exam

AP Intermediate Physics under BIEAP covers first-year and second-year Physics aligned to the Board’s Intermediate syllabus and NCERT-style Class 11–12 Physics. Core topics include mechanics, properties of matter, heat and thermodynamics, oscillations and waves, electrostatics, current electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic induction and AC, optics, modern physics, and semiconductors. Official assessment combines a 3-hour constructed-response theory paper with practical/internal work. This free local bank provides English four-option MCQs for revision and numerical practice; pair it with official blueprints, model papers, and laboratory work on bie.ap.gov.in.

Exam sponsor: Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh (BIEAP / APBIE). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

BIEAP Intermediate Physics is assessed across first-year (Paper I) and second-year (Paper II) Intermediate Public Examinations. For science subjects such as Physics, secondary sources consistently describe a theory + practical/internal structure commonly totaling 100 subject marks (often about 60 theory + 40 practical/internal), with a 3-hour written theory paper of very short, short, and long answers — not a pure multiple-choice paper. Exact section splits, internal weightage, and blueprints are set by BIEAP for each academic year; always confirm the current blueprint and model papers on bie.ap.gov.in. This practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for concept and numerical fluency — it does not simulate the official constructed-response IPE paper or practical exam.

Time Limit

3 hours (theory public examination)

Passing Score

35% minimum (subject pass); theory and practical must be cleared separately where practicals apply (commonly cited ~21/60 theory and ~14/40 practical for Physics).

Exam / Certification Fees

As notified by BIEAP and paid through Intermediate colleges for regular/IPASE sittings (no single fixed public subject fee for all categories).

Fees, eligibility, and exam policies can change. Confirm them with the exam sponsor before applying or paying.

AP Inter Physics (BIEAP): Suggested Study Strategy

1Memorize core formulas (kinematics, energy, lens formula, Ohm’s law, Faraday’s law) and practise unit consistency before every numerical.
2Draw free-body diagrams, ray diagrams, and circuit diagrams even for MCQs — the same diagrams win long-answer IPE marks.
3Treat practical skills as theory too: vernier/screw gauge least count, focal length methods, meter bridge, and potentiometer principles appear as conceptual items.
4After each MCQ set, rewrite one related 4-mark or 8-mark IPE-style answer so you transfer MCQ speed into official written format.
5Use current BIEAP blueprints and model papers from bie.ap.gov.in to allocate revision time by chapter weightage for your year.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is BIEAP Intermediate Physics officially examined?

Physics is examined under the Intermediate Public Examination as first-year and second-year papers. Secondary sources consistently describe a theory + practical/internal structure commonly totaling 100 subject marks (often about 60 theory + 40 practical), a 3-hour written theory paper with very short, short, and long answers, and a minimum 35% pass with theory and practical cleared separately. Confirm the year’s blueprint on bie.ap.gov.in.

Is this practice bank the same format as the official IPE Physics paper?

No. Official BIEAP Physics theory papers are constructed-response (not pure MCQ) and include a practical component. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation for concepts and numericals only — not an official translation, blueprint replica, or practical simulation.

What syllabus does this bank follow?

It is aligned to AP Intermediate (BIEAP) Physics across first year and second year — the standard NCERT Class 11–12 style Intermediate Physics scope: mechanics, properties of matter, thermodynamics, waves, electrostatics, current electricity, magnetism, EMI/AC, optics, modern physics, and semiconductors.

What is the pass mark for AP Intermediate Physics?

Candidates must generally secure at least 35% in the subject. For Physics with practicals, theory and practical are commonly required to be passed separately (often cited as about 21 marks out of 60 theory and 14 out of 40 practical). Always verify the current BIEAP notification.

Where should I check official blueprints and model papers?
