CBSE Class 12 Physics Most Repeated Questions: The CBSE Class 12 Physics exam often includes questions from key chapters like Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Optics, and Dual Nature of Matter. Repeated topics include derivations of Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff's Laws, Ray and Wave Optics, and numerical problems on capacitors, semiconductors, and AC circuits.
Frequently asked conceptual questions cover the photoelectric effect, electromagnetic waves, and communication systems. Diagrams, graphical representations, and their interpretations, especially in Magnetism and EM Induction, are crucial. Practicing previous years’ papers and understanding the NCERT examples can significantly enhance preparation for these recurring questions, as they highlight examiner trends and critical areas of focus.Q1.
