Question Style in MHT CET Electromagnetic Induction PYQs

Every question in this PDF is a single-correct MCQ. About half are on self or mutual inductance, and the rest are on induced emf.

Question StyleWhat it Tests
Self-inductanceAn air-core inductor of 0.03 mH and the change when an iron core is inserted, and two coils with self-inductances L and 3L whose currents change at the same rate
Energy storedThe magnetic energy stored in an inductor of 4 H carrying a current of 1.5 A
Induced emf from changing fluxA coil of a given effective area at right angles to a field that changes, and a circular disc of radius 20 cm in a uniform field
Motional emfThe potential difference across the wings of an aeroplane of span 30 m flying north at 170 m/s
Circuits with an inductorA circuit in which the current is 3 A and increasing at 1 A/s, and the potential difference V_AB when dI/dt = -1 A/s

How to Use the Electromagnetic Induction PYQ PDF for MHT CET

  • Start with the 2025 and 2026 papers first, because they hold 80 of the 186 questions.
  • Learn ε = -dΦ/dt, ε = Blv and U = (1/2)LI², since they settle most of the questions.
  • For circuits with an inductor, write the sign of dI/dt carefully before applying the loop rule.
  • 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.
