Sample CHSE Odisha Elective Physics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the CHSE Odisha Elective 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 +4 µC and +1 µC are separated by 30 cm in vacuum. The electrostatic force between them is approximately (take 1/(4πε0)=9×10^9 N m²/C²)
A.0.4 N
B.4 N
C.40 N
D.400 N
Explanation: F = k|q1 q2|/r² = (9×10^9)(4×10^-6)(1×10^-6)/(0.30)² = (9×10^9)(4×10^-12)/0.09 = 36×10^-3/0.09 = 0.4 N. Like charges repel.
2The electric field intensity at a distance r from an isolated point charge q is proportional to
A.1/r
B.1/r²
C.r
D.r²
Explanation: For a point charge, E = (1/(4πε0)) q/r², so E ∝ 1/r².
3According to Gauss's theorem, the net electric flux through a closed surface equals
A.E × A only when E is nonuniform
B.q_enclosed × ε0
C.q_enclosed/ε0
D.zero always, for any charge distribution
Explanation: Gauss's law: ∮ E · dA = q_enclosed/ε0 (in SI). Flux depends only on the net charge enclosed.
4Electric field just outside an infinite uniformly charged plane sheet of surface charge density σ is
A.zero by symmetry
B.σ/ε0 and falls as 1/r²
C.σ/(4πε0 r²)
D.σ/(2ε0), independent of distance
Explanation: Gauss's law for an infinite sheet gives E = σ/(2ε0) on each side, independent of distance from the sheet.
5The electric potential due to a point charge q at distance r (taking V=0 at infinity) is
A.(1/(4πε0)) q/r
B.(1/(4πε0)) q/r²
C.(1/(4πε0)) q²/r
D.q ε0 / r
Explanation: V = (1/(4πε0)) q/r for a point charge with V(∞)=0. Potential is a scalar ∝ 1/r.
6Three identical capacitors each of capacitance C are connected in series. The equivalent capacitance is
A.3C
B.C/3
C.C
D.C/9
Explanation: For n equal capacitors in series, 1/Ceq = n/C so Ceq = C/n. Here Ceq = C/3.
7Energy stored in a capacitor of capacitance C charged to potential difference V is
A.(1/2) C² V
B.C V²
C.(1/2) C V²
D.C V
Explanation: U = (1/2) C V² = (1/2) Q V = Q²/(2C). The factor 1/2 arises from integrating V dq while charging.
8An 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.2pE
B.pE
C.pE/2
D.zero
Explanation: Torque τ = p × E has magnitude pE sinθ. When p is parallel to E, θ=0 so τ=0. (Net force is also zero in a uniform field.)
9Two capacitors of 2 µF and 3 µF are connected in parallel across a 6 V battery. The total charge drawn from the battery is
A.30 µC
B.12 µC
C.18 µC
D.5 µC
Explanation: Ceq = 2+3 = 5 µF. Q = Ceq V = 5×6 = 30 µC.
10Equipotential surfaces for an isolated positive point charge are
A.parallel planes
B.concentric spheres centred on the charge
C.coaxial cylinders
D.radial lines outward from the charge
Explanation: V ∝ 1/r is constant on spheres of fixed r about the charge, so equipotentials are concentric spheres. Field lines are perpendicular to them.

About the CHSE Odisha Elective Physics Exam

Odisha CHSE Higher Secondary Elective Physics follows the Science Courses of Studies and Physics-CHSE-2023 Class XI–XII map. Year 1 covers measurement, kinematics, Newton's laws, work–energy–power, system of particles and rotation, gravitation, properties of bulk matter, thermodynamics, kinetic theory, and oscillations and waves. Year 2 emphasises electrostatics, current electricity, magnetic effects of current and magnetism, electromagnetic induction and alternating current, electromagnetic waves, ray and wave optics, dual nature of radiation and matter, atoms and nuclei, and semiconductor devices (with communication systems retained in science_2016 and many local teaching plans). Assessment is Theory 70 + Practical 30 each year; the Council Year-2 theory and practical count toward the pass certificate.

Exam sponsor: Council of Higher Secondary Education, Odisha (CHSE Odisha). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

CHSE Odisha Higher Secondary Elective Physics carries 200 marks: Year 1 (Theory 70 + Practical 30 at college level) and Year 2 (Theory 70 + Practical 30 at Council AHSE for the final pass certificate). Each theory paper is typically about 3 hours. Year-1 units run Physical World & Measurement through Oscillations and Waves. Year-2 units run Electrostatics through Semiconductor Electronics (Physics-CHSE-2023); science_2016 also lists Communication Systems as Unit X. Official practical evaluation includes experiments, record, and viva (30 marks). This free bank is an English MCQ study adaptation—not a full long-answer or lab simulation.

CHSE Odisha Elective Physics: Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill Year-2 electrostatics and current-electricity numericals daily—they carry high weight in AHSE theory.
2Memorise thin-lens and mirror formulae with sign convention before optics long answers.
3Practise Ohm's law, series–parallel, and metre-bridge resistivity calculations with SI units.
4Link Faraday/Lenz to AC peak/rms and series LCR resonance graphs.
5For Year-1, alternate kinematics projectiles with SHM period and standing-wave harmonics.
6Use Bureau's Higher Secondary (+2) Physics, NCERT XI–XII, Physics-CHSE-2023, and current circulars from chseodisha.nic.in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is CHSE Odisha Higher Secondary Elective Physics examined?

Elective Physics carries 200 marks across two years: each year Theory 70 marks plus Practical 30 marks. Year-1 is assessed at college level for promotion; Year-2 Council AHSE theory and practical count toward the pass certificate. Theory papers last about 3 hours and use mixed short and long constructed-response items, not a pure MCQ format.

What are the main Year-2 Physics units?

Under Physics-CHSE-2023, Year-2 (Class XII) units include Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism, Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents, Electromagnetic Waves, Optics, Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter, Atoms and Nuclei, and Electronic Devices. The science_2016 Courses of Studies also lists Communication Systems as Unit X with its own mark share alongside semiconductor electronics.

Is this practice bank the same format as the official CHSE paper?

No. Official papers mix very short, short, and long constructed-response solutions plus a separate practical exam. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation for concept and calculation revision—not an official blueprint replica or lab substitute.

Does Elective Physics include a practical exam?

Yes. Practical is 30 marks each year (experiments, practical record, and viva). Prescribed experiments include Vernier/screw gauge, simple pendulum, Ohm's law and metre bridge, mirror/lens focal length, prism deviation, and diode characteristics (confirm the current list for your session).

What is the pass mark?

CHSE Odisha AHSE practice commonly requires about 30% as the minimum pass floor in theory; confirm theory/practical aggregation rules in the current AHSE notification on chseodisha.nic.in.

What does the exam cost?

Examination charges are included in the CHSE Odisha AHSE fee structure notified for the session and collected through the affiliated college/H.S. school—no separate public per-elective marketplace fee.
