About Physics-Bench

Physics-Bench extends our bottom-up knowledge-graph reasoning evaluation to physics. The full suite contains 20,000 validated multiple-choice problems — a fully balanced grid of 5 hop depths × 20 topical clusters × 200 questions each. Every item is grounded in an explicit knowledge path (a chain of physics equations that composes the derivation from givens to the numerical answer) and ships with a step-by-step thinking trace that walks through the full derivation.

To keep each visit fresh, we rotate the pool weekly: 100 questions per hop per week for a 40-week cycle that fully exhausts the 4,000-item per-hop pool exactly once. On week 41 the pool reshuffles and the cycle starts over.

K-Hop Reasoning Levels

1-Hop

Single-equation derivation (e.g. v = v₀ + at)

2-Hop

Two-equation composition (e.g. compute velocity then momentum)

3-Hop

Three-step derivations combining kinematic, dynamical, or energetic quantities

4-Hop

Four-step chains spanning multiple sub-topics within a cluster

5-Hop

Deep five-step compositions that stress multi-concept integration

20,000 Questions

4,000 per hop · 200 per cluster · 20 clusters spanning classical → quantum

• Equilibrium, Elasticity & Gravitation
• Fluids & Oscillations
• Waves & Sound
• Temperature & Heat
• Entropy & Thermodynamics
• Electrostatics
• Capacitance, Current & Resistance
• DC Circuits
• Magnetic Fields & Currents
• Induction, AC Circuits & Maxwell’s Equations
• Electromagnetic Waves & Optics
• Interference & Diffraction
• Relativity
• Photons, Matter Waves & Quantum Atoms

How to Use

1

Pick a K-Hop Reasoning Level

Choose any of the 1-Hop through 5-Hop bins. Each selection runs this week’s 100-question session for that hop, drawn across all 20 clusters.

2

Solve Multiple-Choice Problems

Each item is a four-option physics question with numerical answer choices grounded in a real equation chain.

3

Inspect the Knowledge Path + Thinking Trace

After each answer we visualise the k-step equation chain, show the exact numerical solution, and expand a full step-by-step thinking trace that walks through the derivation.

4

Come Back Next Week

A fresh set of 100 questions per hop rotates in each week; a full 40-week cycle exhausts the 4,000-item per-hop pool, then it reshuffles.


This Week's Physics-Bench Quiz

Pick a k-hop reasoning level. Each selection runs a 100-question session for that hop, drawn from this week's rotation across 20 physics clusters (Kinematics, Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics, Quantum, and more).

Week 1 of 40 · cycle 0

Each hop pool holds 4,000 validated physics problems. We rotate 100 per hop every week over a 40-week cycle so the full pool is exhausted exactly once per cycle.
