Physics - Magnetic Properties of Matter

Practise 30 AIIMS previous year questions on Magnetic Properties of Matter, compiled from papers spanning 2002 to 2019. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty AIIMS tests.

Magnetic Properties of Matter has been asked in 15 of the 19 years of AIIMS papers analysed (2001–2019), with 30 questions in all. 67% of them were easy, 20% moderate and 13% tough. Most of its questions came from 2016, with 4 questions that year. In the last three years (2017–2019) it had 7 questions across 5 papers, about 1.4 per paper.

The chapter's 4 topics are not weighted equally: Magnetism and Properties of Magnet (12 questions, 40%), Magnetic Materials and their Properties (12 questions, 40%), and Earths magnetic field (4 questions, 13%) have been asked the most. Magnetism and Properties of Magnet has produced the most tough questions (2).
