Recent years' NEET Physics papers show the importance of conceptual learning rather than only mugging up the formulas. Conceptual understanding of NEET exam formulas and their application, calculation ability and proper time management are important skills tested in NEET Physics.
The following list of 50 Physics numericals can be helpful to aspirants preparing for NEET 2027. The numericals include questions from significant topics of Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Magnetism, Optics & Modern Physics.
Students must first try the important NEET questions without referring to their solutions. After checking the answer, students need to revise the formula/concept applied in that question. It will prove more beneficial than just memorising the right choice.

Ques: 1
An AC voltage $V = 220\sin(2\times10^3t)$ Volt is applied to a series LCR circuit. Then the current amplitude in this circuit is:
Given: $L = 10,\text{mH}$, $C = 25,\mu\text{F}$, $R = 100,\Omega$
Option 1) $5.5,\text{A}$
Option 2) $11.0,\text{A}$
Option 3) $22.0,\text{A}$
Option 4) $2.2,\text{A}$
Chapter: Alternating Current
Correct Answer: Option 4
Explanation
The angular frequency is:
$\omega = 2\times10^3,\text{rad/s}$
Inductive reactance:
$X_L = \omega L$
$X_L = 2\times10^3 \times 10\times10^{-3}$
$X_L = 20,\Omega$
Capacitive reactance:
$X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C}$
$X_C = \frac{1}{2\times10^3 \times 25\times10^{-6}}$
$X_C = 20,\Omega$
Since $X_L = X_C$, the circuit is at resonance. Therefore, the impedance is:
$Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L-X_C)^2}$
$Z = \sqrt{100^2 + (20-20)^2}$
$Z = 100,\Omega$
The voltage amplitude is $V_0 = 220,\text{V}$. Hence, the current amplitude is:
$I_0 = \frac{V_0}{Z}$
$I_0 = \frac{220}{100}$
$I_0 = 2.2,\text{A}$
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4: $2.2,\text{A}$.
Ques: 2
Bob B of mass $m$ at rest is hanging vertically from the ceiling via a massless string of length $10,\text{m}$. Point mass A of mass $m$ travelling horizontally with speed $10,\text{m/s}$ hits bob B elastically. The bob B rises $h$ meter after the collision. Taking the acceleration due to gravity $g = 10,\text{m/s}^2$ and neglecting the size of the bob, the value of $h$ is:
Option 1) $7,\text{m}$
Option 2) $5,\text{m}$
Option 3) $2.5,\text{m}$
Option 4) $8,\text{m}$
Chapter: Systems of Particles
Correct Answer: Option 2
Explanation
For a perfectly elastic collision between two bodies of equal mass, the velocities are completely exchanged.
Therefore, after the collision, mass A comes to rest and bob B moves with the initial speed of A:
$v_B = 10,\text{m/s}$
As bob B swings upward, its kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy. Using conservation of mechanical energy:
$\frac{1}{2}mv_B^2 = mgh$
Cancelling $m$ from both sides:
$h = \frac{v_B^2}{2g}$
Substituting $v_B = 10,\text{m/s}$ and $g = 10,\text{m/s}^2$:
$h = \frac{(10)^2}{2\times10}$
$h = \frac{100}{20}$
$h = 5,\text{m}$
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2: $5,\text{m}$.
Ques: 3
A wire of resistance $R$ is cut into 8 equal pieces. From these pieces, two equivalent resistances are made by adding four of these together in parallel. Then these two sets are added in series. The net effective resistance of the combination is
Option 1) $\frac{R}{8}$
Option 2) $\frac{R}{64}$
Option 3) $\frac{R}{32}$
Option 4) $\frac{R}{16}$
Chapter: Current Electricity
Correct Answer: Option 4
Explanation:
The wire is cut into 8 equal pieces, so each piece has resistance
$R_{piece}=\frac{R}{8}$
The resistance of each group is
$\frac{1}{R_{group}}=\frac{1}{R/8}+\frac{1}{R/8}+\frac{1}{R/8}+\frac{1}{R/8}=\frac{32}{R}$
$R_{group}=\frac{R}{32}$
Since the groups are connected in series, the net resistance is
$R_{net}=\frac{R}{32}+\frac{R}{32}=\frac{R}{16}$
Hence, the answer is option (4).
Ques: 4
In a potentiometer circuit, a cell of EMF 1.5 V gives a balance point at 36 cm length of wire. If another cell of EMF 2.5 V replaces the first cell, then at what length of the wire, the balance point occur?
Option 1) 60 cm
Option 2) 21.6 cm
Option 3) 64 cm
Option 4) 62 cm
Chapter: Current Electricity
Correct Answer: Option 1
Explanation:
$\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{l_1}{l_2}$
$\frac{1.5}{2.5}=\frac{36}{l_2}$
$l_2=60cm$
Hence, the answer is option (1).
Ques: 5
An electric dipole with dipole moment $5\times10^{-6}Cm$ is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude $4\times10^5NC^{-1}$. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of $60^\circ$ with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is
Option 1) 1.5 J
Option 2) 0.8 J
Option 3) 1.0 J
Option 4) 1.2 J
Chapter: Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
Correct Answer: Option 3
Explanation:
Given,
$p=5\times10^{-6}Cm$
$E=4\times10^5NC^{-1}$
$\theta_i=0^\circ,\ \theta_f=60^\circ$
$\Delta U=U_f-U_i$
$\Delta U=pE(\cos\theta_i-\cos\theta_f)$
$\Delta U=5\times10^{-6}\times4\times10^5\times(1-\frac{1}{2})=1J$
Hence, the answer is option (3).
Ques: 6
The radius of the Martian orbit around the Sun is about 4 times the radius of the orbit of Mercury. The Martian year is 687 Earth days. Then, which of the following is the length of 1 year on Mercury?
Option 1) 124 earth days
Option 2) 88 earth days
Option 3) 225 earth days
Option 4) 172 earth days
Chapter: Gravitation
Correct Answer: Option 2
Explanation:
From Kepler’s third law, $T^2\propto R^3$
$\frac{T_{Mercury}}{T_{Mars}}=\left(\frac{R_{Mercury}}{R_{Mars}}\right)^{3/2}=\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{3/2}=\frac{1}{8}$
$T_{Mercury}=\frac{687}{8}\approx88days$
Hence, the answer is option (2).
Ques: 7
The minimum energy required to launch a satellite of mass $m$ from the surface of the earth of mass $M$ and radius $R$ in a circular orbit at an altitude of $2R$ from the surface of the earth is:
Option 1) $\frac{5GMm}{6R}$
Option 2) $\frac{2GMm}{3R}$
Option 3) $\frac{GMm}{2R}$
Option 4) $\frac{GMm}{R}$
Chapter: Gravitation
Correct Answer: Option 2
Explanation:
Using energy conservation,
$U_i+K_i=U_f+K_f$
$-\frac{GMm}{R}+K_i=-\frac{GMm}{3R}+\frac{1}{2}m\frac{GM}{3R}$
$K_i=\frac{5GMm}{6R}$
Hence, the answer is option (2).
Ques: 8

Option 1) 50 N/kg
Option 2) 20 N/kg
Option 3) 180 N/kg
Option 4) 0.05 N/kg
Chapter: Gravitation
Correct Answer: Option 1
Explanation:
Gravitational field intensity
$g=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{3}{60\times10^{-3}}=50Nkg^{-1}$
Hence, the answer is option (1).
Ques: 9

Option 1) $p^4$ and $m^4$
Option 2) $4p$ and $4m$
Option 3) $p^4$ and $4m$
Option 4) $4p$ and $m^4$
Chapter: Ray Optics and Optical Instruments
Correct Answer: Option 4
Explanation:
The total power of lenses in contact
$P_{total}=p+p+p+p=4p$
The total magnification
$m_{total}=m\times m\times m\times m=m^4$
Hence, the answer is option (4).
Ques: 10
The electron concentration in an n-type semiconductor is the same as the hole concentration in a p-type semiconductor. An external electric field is applied across each of them. Compare the currents in them.
Option 1) Current in n-type = current in p-type
Option 2) Current in p-type > current in n-type
Option 3) Current in n-type < current in p-type
Option 4) No current will flow in p-type, current will only flow in n-type
Chapter: Semiconductor Electronics
Correct Answer: Option 1
Explanation:
In both n-type and p-type semiconductors, electric current is due to drift motion of charge carriers when an electric field is applied.
Current in n-type = current in p-type
Hence, the answer is option (1).

Out of 720 marks in NEET, physics constitutes 180 marks and 45 questions, with each question carrying four marks. This means that in order to score 120 marks in physics, the candidate will have to answer 30 questions correctly, assuming there are no wrong answers attempted. In real life, this will require the candidate to attempt more than 30 questions, considering the negative marking.
The selected numerical problems can assist students in developing:

Attempt Modern Physics first
Do not guess blindly, this will avoid negative marking
Consistency is more important than solving hundreds of questions.
Stick to NCERT textbooks
Use one good question source only
Revise mistakes regularly
Practice numericals with a timer
Focus on accuracy over speed initially
