Physics - Electromagnetic Induction

Practise 5 IAT (IISER) previous year questions on Electromagnetic Induction, compiled from papers spanning 2017 to 2026. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty IAT (IISER) tests.

Electromagnetic Induction has been asked in 4 of the 9 years of IAT (IISER) papers analysed (2017–2026), with 5 questions in all. 0% of them were easy, 60% moderate and 40% tough. Most of its questions came from 2026, with 1 question that year. In the last three years (2023–2026) it had 2 questions across 3 papers, about 0.7 per paper.

The chapter's 2 topics are not weighted equally: Magnetic Flux, Faraday's and Lenz law (4 questions, 80%) and Induced Electric Field (1 question, 20%) have been asked the most. Magnetic Flux, Faraday's and Lenz law has also led over the last five years, with 2 questions. Magnetic Flux, Faraday's and Lenz law has produced the most tough questions (1).

Frequently Asked Questions

1.How many questions are available for Electromagnetic Induction?

This chapter includes 5 questions compiled from IAT (IISER) papers spanning 2017 to 2026.

2.Are these questions only from IAT (IISER), or from other exams too?

These are IAT (IISER) questions specifically for the Electromagnetic Induction chapter. Questions from other exams like JEE Main or NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) are organised separately under their respective exam sections.

3.Is Electromagnetic Induction an important chapter for IAT (IISER) Physics?

Electromagnetic Induction has appeared in 5 of the 10 years of IAT (IISER) papers covered here, with 5 questions across 5 papers - about one per paper it appears in.

4.What is the difficulty level of Electromagnetic Induction questions in IAT (IISER)?

Of the 5 questions analysed for this chapter, 0% are easy, 60% moderate and 40% tough. 2026 had the most, with 1 question.

5.Which topics in Electromagnetic Induction should I focus on?

These topics have carried the most weightage in Electromagnetic Induction:

  • Magnetic Flux, Faraday's and Lenz law - 4 questions (80%)
  • Induced Electric Field - 1 question (20%)
  • Magnetic Flux, Faraday's and Lenz law has produced the most tough questions (1).
6.Is Electromagnetic Induction's weightage in IAT (IISER) going up or down?

Across all 5 papers analysed, Electromagnetic Induction has averaged about 1.0 questions per paper. In the last three years (2023–2026), that average has fallen, at about 0.7 questions per paper. Use the year-wise numbers on this page for the exact trend before you decide how much time to give it.
