Physics - Current Electricity

Practise 136 NEET previous year questions on Current Electricity, compiled from papers spanning 2002 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 NEET tests.

Current Electricity has been asked in 25 of the 39 years of NEET papers analysed (1988–2026), with 136 questions in all. 44% of them were easy, 39% moderate and 17% tough. Most of its questions came from 2023, with 9 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 17 questions across 13 papers, about 1.3 per paper.

The chapter's 9 topics are not weighted equally: Electric Instruments (31 questions, 23%), Resistance and Resistivity (25 questions, 18%), and Electric Power and Heating Effect of Current (18 questions, 13%) have been asked the most. Over the last five years the most frequent topics have been Combination of Resistances (9), Resistance and Resistivity (6), and Electric Current and Drift of Electrons (4). Electric Power and Heating Effect of Current has produced the most tough questions (8).
