Physics - Magnetic Properties of Matter

Practise 27 KCET previous year questions on Magnetic Properties of Matter, compiled from papers spanning 2009 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 KCET tests.

Magnetic Properties of Matter has been asked in 15 of the 20 years of KCET papers analysed (2007–2026), with 27 questions in all. 74% of them were easy, 15% moderate and 11% tough. Most of its questions came from 2018, with 3 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 5 questions across 3 papers, about 1.7 per paper.

The chapter's 4 topics are not weighted equally: Magnetic Materials and their Properties (11 questions, 41%), Magnetism and Properties of Magnet (7 questions, 26%), and Earths magnetic field (7 questions, 26%) have been asked the most. Magnetic Materials and their Properties has also led over the last five years, with 4 questions. Earths magnetic field has produced the most tough questions (2).
