Ohm's Law and V-I Graphs

JEE Main asked Ohm's Law and V-I Graphs 3 times in 3 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2021, 2022 and 2024. It belongs to Ohm's Law and Resistance, in Current Electricity (Physics). The longest wait between two years asking it was 2 years.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year

2017–2026. Asked in 2021, 2022 and 2024. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Physics questions.

How JEE Main framed it

Numerical value is the usual form. Skill tested: multi-step.

  • Resistance from v-i graph with meter
  • Resistivity from v-i graph and dimensions
