Question Style in MHT CET Electromagnetic Waves PYQs

All 5 questions in this PDF are single-correct MCQs. Two of them ask for the force on a moving charge in both fields.

Question Style	What it Tests
Statement based	Selecting the WRONG statement from the given statements on electromagnetic waves
Wave direction	An electromagnetic wave whose wave normal makes 45° with the vertical and travels in air
Lorentz force	The force on a charge q moving with velocity v through an electric field E and a magnetic field B
Radio waves	The maximum frequency of transmitted radio waves above which they are no longer reflected back

How to Use the Electromagnetic Waves PYQ PDF for MHT CET

Start with the newest papers in the PDF, 2023 first, because the chapter had no question in 2025 and 2026.
Learn the Lorentz force F = q(E + v × B) and the properties common to all electromagnetic waves.
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.
