Physics - Electromagnetic Induction

Practise 27 JEE Advanced previous year questions on Electromagnetic Induction, compiled from papers spanning 2006 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 JEE Advanced tests.

Electromagnetic Induction has been asked in 15 of the 27 years of JEE Advanced papers analysed (2000–2026), with 27 questions in all. 11% of them were easy, 41% moderate and 48% tough. Most of its questions came from 2006, with 4 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 4 questions across 6 papers, about 0.7 per paper.

The chapter's 6 topics are not weighted equally: Motional and Rotational EMF (11 questions, 41%), Magnetic Flux, Faraday's and Lenz law (6 questions, 22%), and Induced Electric Field (5 questions, 19%) have been asked the most. Motional and Rotational EMF has also led over the last five years, with 5 questions. Motional and Rotational EMF has produced the most tough questions (6).
