FREE NEET Physics Practice Questions-Electrostatics

NEET is one of the toughest medical examinations in the country, which enables students to seek admissions to their favorite medical colleges across the country. When the stakes are high, your NEET preparation has to be consistent and full-proof. With lakhs of students competing every year, you must ensure that your preparation is up to the mark because every mark in NEET counts. 

Most NEET aspirants grapple with Physics subjects. So, what do most toppers do? They solve as many as sample NEET questions for Physics to strengthen their grip. You can work smart too by solving sample NEET-UG questions and previous year’s questions of medical entrance exams.

In this article, Darwin presents you with 10 sample questions from the Physics Chapter Electrostatics. Solving chapter-wise NEET questions is a splendid example of working incrementally. You will know exactly how good your understanding is of this NEET chapter. It gives you an edge over others and helps you to improve your NEET prep. 

Q1. In figure two positive charges q2 and q3 fixed along the Y-axis, exert a net electric force in the +x-direction on a charge q1 fixed along the X-axis. If a positive charge Q is added at (x,0), then the force on q1

A. shall increase along the positive X-axis.

B. shall decrease along the positive X-axis.

C. shall point along the negative X-axis.

D. shall increase but the direction changes because of the intersection of Q with q2 and q3
