Sample BSEH SS Physics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the BSEH SS Physics exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Two point charges +3 μC and −3 μC are placed 2 m apart in vacuum. The force between them is (take 1/(4πε₀) = 9×10⁹ N m² C⁻²):
A.2.025×10⁻² N attractive
B.2.025×10⁻² N repulsive
C.4.05×10⁻² N attractive
D.9×10⁻³ N attractive
Explanation: F = k|q₁q₂|/r² = (9×10⁹)(3×10⁻⁶)(3×10⁻⁶)/(2)² = (9×10⁹)(9×10⁻¹²)/4 = 2.025×10⁻² N. Opposite charges attract.
2The electric field due to an infinite plane sheet of surface charge density σ is:
A.σ/(2ε₀) and independent of distance
B.σ/ε₀ and falls as 1/r
C.σ/(4πε₀r²)
D.σ/(2ε₀r)
Explanation: From Gauss's law for an infinite non-conducting sheet, E = σ/(2ε₀), uniform on each side and independent of distance from the sheet.
3A parallel-plate capacitor has capacitance 4 μF. When a dielectric of dielectric constant κ = 2 completely fills the gap, the new capacitance is:
A.2 μF
B.4 μF
C.8 μF
D.16 μF
Explanation: With dielectric filling the gap, C′ = κC₀ = 2 × 4 μF = 8 μF.
4Three capacitors of 2 μF, 3 μF and 6 μF are connected in series. The equivalent capacitance is:
A.1 μF
B.11 μF
C.6 μF
D.1/11 μF
Explanation: 1/C = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 3/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 = 1 ⇒ C = 1 μF.
5Energy stored in a capacitor of capacitance C charged to potential V is:
A.CV
B.½CV²
C.C²V
D.2CV²
Explanation: U = ½CV² = Q²/(2C) = ½QV. The standard Class 12 form for fixed V is ½CV².
6An electric dipole of moment p is placed in a uniform electric field E with p parallel to E. The torque on the dipole is:
A.pE
B.zero
C.pE/2
D.2pE
Explanation: τ = pE sinθ. When p is parallel to E, θ = 0°, so torque is zero (though potential energy is minimum, −pE).
7Two point charges +q and +4q are fixed a distance d apart. The electric field is zero at a point on the line joining them that is:
A.midway between the charges
B.at distance d from +q on the side opposite +4q
C.at distance d/3 from +q between the charges
D.at distance d/4 from +4q between the charges
Explanation: For like charges the null cannot lie between them. Outside near the smaller charge +q, set kq/x² = k(4q)/(d+x)² ⇒ (d+x)/x = 2 ⇒ x = d. So the field is zero a distance d from +q on the outer side.
8Potential at a distance r from a point charge Q in vacuum is:
A.kQ/r²
B.kQ/r
C.kQ²/r
D.Q/(4πε₀r²)
Explanation: V = (1/(4πε₀)) Q/r = kQ/r (taking V∞ = 0). Electric field magnitude is kQ/r².
9A 12 μF capacitor charged to 50 V is disconnected from the battery and then connected in parallel with an uncharged 6 μF capacitor. The final common potential is:
A.50 V
B.33.3 V
C.25 V
D.16.7 V
Explanation: Charge is conserved: Q = 12×50 = 600 μC. After parallel, Ceq = 18 μF, V = Q/C = 600/18 ≈ 33.3 V.
10According to Gauss's law, the net electric flux through a closed surface is:
A.ε₀ times enclosed charge
B.enclosed charge divided by ε₀
C.zero always
D.surface charge density times area
Explanation: Φ_E = Q_enclosed/ε₀ for a closed surface in vacuum (SI form used in Class 12).

BSEH SS Physics: Suggested Study Strategy

1Write the governing formula first (Coulomb, Ohm, Biot–Savart, lens formula, photoelectric equation) before substituting SI values.
2Watch sign conventions carefully for mirrors/lenses and for motional emf / Lenz’s law direction questions.
3For capacitors and resistors, always decide series vs parallel topology before computing equivalent values.
4In photoelectric numericals, convert eV ↔ joules only when needed; many MCQ options stay in eV.
5Use current BSEH Class 12 Physics syllabus and date-sheet materials from bseh.org.in to balance objective drills with long numerical and practical preparation.
