1Two like point charges repel each other with force F when separated by distance r in vacuum. If the separation is doubled, the repulsive force becomes:
A.F/2
B.2F
C.4F
D.F/4
Explanation: Coulomb's law states F proportional to 1/r squared. Doubling the separation multiplies the force by 1/4, so the new force is F/4. The charges remain like, so the force is still repulsive but weaker.
2Two point charges +3 μC and −2 μC are placed 2 m apart in vacuum. The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is (k = 9×10^9 N m^2 C^−2):
A.1.35×10^−2 N
B.2.7×10^−2 N
C.6.75×10^−3 N
D.1.35×10^−3 N
Explanation: F = k|q1 q2|/r^2 = (9×10^9)(3×10^−6)(2×10^−6)/(2)^2 = (9×10^9)(6×10^−12)/4 = 54×10^−3/4 = 1.35×10^−2 N. Opposite signs mean attraction, but magnitude is positive.
3Electric field intensity at a point is defined as the electrostatic force experienced by a:
A.unit magnetic pole placed at that point
B.unit positive charge placed at that point
C.unit negative charge placed at that point
D.unit mass placed at that point
Explanation: By definition E = F/q0 for a small positive test charge q0. The direction of E is the direction of force on a positive charge. Unit mass defines gravitational field strength, not electric field.
4The electric field due to a point charge of 2 μC at a distance of 3 m in vacuum is (k = 9×10^9 SI units):
A.2×10^4 N/C
B.9×10^3 N/C
C.2×10^3 N/C
D.6×10^3 N/C
Explanation: E = kq/r^2 = (9×10^9)(2×10^−6)/(3)^2 = 18×10^3/9 = 2×10^3 N/C. Direction is radially outward because the charge is positive.
5Charges +q and +4q are fixed 30 cm apart. A third charge is placed on the line joining them so that the net force on it is zero. Its distance from +q is:
A.20 cm (between the charges)
B.6 cm (between the charges)
C.15 cm (midpoint)
D.10 cm (between the charges)
Explanation: Let the null point be at distance x from +q. Then kqQ/x^2 = k(4q)Q/(0.30−x)^2 gives 1/x = 2/(0.30−x), so 0.30−x = 2x and x = 0.10 m = 10 cm. For like charges the null point lies between them, closer to the smaller charge.
6The SI unit of electric potential is the:
A.volt
B.newton
C.coulomb
D.farad
Explanation: Electric potential V equals work done per unit charge; 1 V = 1 J/C. Newton is force, coulomb is charge, and farad is capacitance.
7Electric potential due to a charge of 5 μC at a distance of 9 m from it in vacuum is (k = 9×10^9):
A.9×10^3 V
B.5×10^3 V
C.4.5×10^4 V
D.5×10^2 V
Explanation: V = kq/r = (9×10^9)(5×10^−6)/9 = 45×10^3/9 = 5×10^3 V. Potential is a scalar and falls as 1/r, not 1/r^2.
8Three identical capacitors each of capacitance C are connected in series. Their equivalent capacitance is:
A.C
B.C/2
C.C/3
D.3C
Explanation: For n equal capacitors in series, 1/Ceq = n/C so Ceq = C/n. With n = 3, Ceq = C/3. Series connection reduces equivalent capacitance below any single capacitor.
9A 2 μF parallel-plate capacitor is charged to 100 V and then disconnected from the battery. If the plate separation is doubled (dielectric still air), the stored energy becomes:
A.5.0×10^−3 J
B.1.0×10^−2 J
C.4.0×10^−2 J
D.2.0×10^−2 J
Explanation: Initially U = (1/2)CV^2 = (1/2)(2×10^−6)(100)^2 = 1.0×10^−2 J. After disconnection Q is constant. Doubling d halves C. With Q fixed, U = Q^2/(2C) doubles to 2.0×10^−2 J. Energy is supplied by the work done in separating the plates against attraction.
10Gauss's law states that the net electric flux through a closed surface is equal to:
A.q_enclosed/ε0
B.q_enclosed × ε0
C.E × A only
D.zero always
Explanation: Gauss's law: closed surface integral of E·dA equals q_encl/ε0 in SI. Flux depends only on the enclosed charge, not on charges outside the Gaussian surface.

About the RBSE SS Physics Exam

The Rajasthan RBSE Senior Secondary (Class 12) Physics examination (subject code 040) is conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan (RBSE), Ajmer. Official 2026 subject-wise main-examination statistics list this paper among assessed subjects (SCIENCE 2026 stats: 040 PHYSICS; theory 56+sessional 14, practical 30).

RBSE SS Physics: Suggested Study Strategy

1Map every practice session to the official RBSE Physics unit list, not only popular coaching lists.
2After MCQ drills, write full answers from RBSE-style model papers under timed conditions.
3Verify facts (dates, formulas, definitions) against NCERT/RBSE prescribed books before trusting any third-party summary.
4Track weak categories and re-attempt missed items after 48 hours.
5For languages, literature, music, drawing, typewriting, and shorthand, MCQs support theory—still complete official skill practice.
