Power is a topic from the Work, Energy and Power chapter of Class 11 Physics, and it is part of the Physics section of the MHT CET for candidates who are preparing for the PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics).

The key topics covered in Power PYQs are:

Power developed by a time-dependent force
Power of a body moving with uniform acceleration
Power delivered by an engine when the velocity doubles
Power in circular motion

Practising Power MHT CET PYQ helps candidates to understand question pattern, improve calculation speed, and identify concepts which were asked in previous exams.

Based on chapter-wise analysis of the MHT CET Physics paper, you can get less than 1 mark per paper by covering Power. The chapter recorded 5 questions across the 80 shifts in the data, and 3 of them came in the 2025 and 2026 papers, where it contributed about 0.2% per shift.

MHT CET Power Chapter: Question Count, Marks and Weightage:

0.06 Average questions per shift (2018-2026)	3 Questions in the 2025 and 2026 papers (33 shifts)
5 Questions in the PDF (2021-2026)	0.1% Estimated Physics paper weightage (0.2% in 2025-2026)

The PDF holds 5 questions from MHT CET 2026 to 2021, newest first, each with its exam date and shift. Options are as printed and answer keys are not included.

Power PYQ Statistics (2022-2026)

The table below shows the number of questions asked in MHT CET Power PYQs. Every shift has 50 Physics questions, so the last column is the average per shift divided by 50.

Year	Total Questions (across shifts)	Shifts in the Data	Average per Shift	Weightage (out of 50 Physics Qs)
2026	2	16	0.12	0.2%
2025	1	17	0.06	0.1%
2024	1	18	0.06	0.1%
2023	0	12	0.00	0.0%
2022	0	1	0.00	0.0%

The 2018 to 2021 papers in the PDF add 1 more questions: 2021 had 1, 2020 had none, 2019 had none, 2018 had none.

MHT CET Power Important Questions: Based on the Last 5 Years

The major types of questions asked from Power in MHT CET cover the following topics:

Topic	Questions in the PDF	Questions in 2022-2026	Average per Shift (2022-2026)

Question Style in MHT CET Power PYQs

All 5 questions are single-correct MCQs, and each one needs P = F·v or P = work divided by time.

Question Style	What it Tests
Time-dependent force	A 1 kg body under F = (t i + 3t² j) N or (t i + 2t² j) N, and the power developed at a given time
Uniform acceleration	A 1 kg body that starts from rest and reaches 10 m/s in 2 seconds, and the power exerted on it in one second
Car doubling its velocity	The power delivered by the engine of a car of mass m that doubles its velocity from u in time t
Circular motion	A particle on a circle of constant radius whose centripetal acceleration grows as k²rt², and the power delivered to it

How to Use the Power PYQ PDF for MHT CET

Start with the 2025 and 2026 papers first, because they hold 3 of the 5 questions.
Use P = F·v for the force-and-time questions and P = (change in kinetic energy) / t for the car question.
Learn to get v(t) by integrating the acceleration, since two of the 5 questions need it.
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.
