Abitur Physik

Focused practice for the physics Abitur: fields, oscillations and waves, wave optics, quantum and nuclear physics, with the mechanics foundations they rest on. Not a full mock paper for any single Bundesland.

38 skills · g = 9.81 m/s²

Conventions

The path follows the fields, oscillations and waves, and quantum content shared across the IQB task pool, not the full course of any single Bundesland.
This is focused practice, not a complete mock paper. Relativity and thermodynamics are outside this path.
Problems use g = 9.81 m/s².
The in-app order follows the teaching sequence, so mechanics comes before fields.
Physics Zen is independent exam-style practice, not official exam material.

Units on this path

Mechanics foundations

Uniform Motion: Relate distance, speed, and time at constant velocity, and convert km/h to m/s
Uniform Acceleration: Use the constant-acceleration equations and read velocity-time graphs
Free Fall: Drop and throw objects under gravity: fall time, impact speed, maximum height
Projectile Motion: Split a launch into horizontal and vertical motion to find flight time and range
Launch at an Angle: Resolve a launch velocity into components and find the time to the top, the greatest height and the range
Newton's Laws: Apply F = ma, add forces along a line, and tell mass from weight
Work: Find the work a force does, at an angle to the motion and against friction
Kinetic & Potential Energy: Compute kinetic and gravitational potential energy, and work back to speed or height
Conservation of Energy: Trade height for speed on a frictionless path, and account for what friction takes
Uniform Circular Motion: Link period, frequency and speed on a circle, and find centripetal acceleration
Centripetal Force: Find the force that holds an object on a circular path, from tension to friction

Oscillations

Springs & Hooke's Law: Apply Hooke's law and find the period of a mass oscillating on a spring
Pendulums: Find the period of a simple pendulum and how a different gravity changes it

Fields

Charge & Coulomb's Law: Find the force between two charges and count the electrons behind a charge
Electric Field: Get the field from a force on a test charge and from a source charge at a distance
Electric Potential: Work out potential, potential energy and the speed a charge picks up across a voltage
Charge, Capacitance & Energy: Connect charge, voltage, plate geometry and stored energy
RC Charging & Discharging: Use time constants and exponential voltage changes
Magnetic Field of a Current: Find the field around a straight wire and inside a solenoid, and add the fields of two wires

Electromagnetic Induction: Use Faraday's law to get the EMF a changing flux induces in a coil
AC & Transformers: Use rms values and transformer ratios to calculate voltage changes and explain high-voltage transmission
Inductance & LC Circuits: Find the self-induced EMF and stored energy of a coil, its reactance in AC, and the period of an LC circuit

Circuits

Ohm's Law & Resistance: Relate voltage, current and resistance, and find resistance from a wire's dimensions
Series & Parallel: Combine resistors in series and in parallel, and split the current between branches
Electrical Power: Find power three ways, and the energy in kilowatt hours a device uses

Waves and wave optics

Wave Speed & Frequency: Link speed, frequency and wavelength, and find the speed of a wave on a string
Wave Graphs & Interference: Read wave graphs against position and time, use the sine-wave equation, and find where two sources reinforce or cancel
Standing Waves: Find the harmonics of a string and of open and closed pipes
Reflection & Refraction: Apply Snell's law, find the critical angle and the speed of light in a medium
Double-Slit Interference: Find fringe spacing and infer wavelengths
Diffraction & Gratings: Read slit patterns and diffraction orders

Quantum and nuclear physics

Photons & Photoelectric Effect: Get a photon's energy from its wavelength and the electrons it can knock loose
Matter Waves & X-rays: Find the de Broglie wavelength of a particle, the cutoff of an X-ray tube and the spacing from a Bragg reflection
Energy Levels: Find the photon an atomic transition emits, in electronvolts and in nanometres
Radioactive Decay: Halve an activity across half-lives and name the nuclide a decay leaves behind
Mass-Energy: Convert a mass defect into energy and find the binding energy per nucleon

How Physics Zen helps

The Abitur path drills the 38 skills behind the shared IQB fields: electric and magnetic fields, capacitors and RC transients, oscillations, interference and diffraction, and the photoelectric effect and atomic energy levels, radioactive decay and binding energy, with the kinematics, energy and circular-motion tools those tasks assume. Generated values, instant checking and worked solutions apply throughout.
