Question Style in MHT CET Current Electricity PYQs

Every question in this PDF is a single-correct MCQ. About a third are on the potentiometer, meter bridge or Wheatstone bridge, and more than a quarter are on converting or using a galvanometer.

Question Style	What it Tests
Potentiometer	A potentiometer wire AB of 5 Ω and 10 m length, and the comparison of two cells' emfs from balancing lengths
Meter bridge	Two resistances X and Y in the gaps of a meter bridge and the null point on the wire
Galvanometer conversion	The shunt that lets 10% of the main current through a galvanometer of 99 Ω, and the resistance of 980 Ω in series to make a voltmeter
Cells and batteries	Two batteries of 4 V and 8 V with different internal resistances connected in a circuit, and the current drawn from a battery
Resistor networks	The current through a 15 Ω resistance in a network, the current through ACB when each resistance is 4 Ω, and the equivalent resistance when no current flows in one resistor

How to Use the Current Electricity PYQ PDF for MHT CET

Start with the 2025 and 2026 papers first, because they hold 63 of the 174 questions.
Revise the balance condition of the Wheatstone bridge and the meter bridge, since they settle the largest group of questions.
For shunt and series-resistance questions, write the current through the galvanometer first and then the formula for the resistor.
Solve year-wise PYQs by timing yourself, as time management is crucial.
Re-attempt only the questions you got wrong, and note which formula or step you missed.
