Searle's Experiment for Young's Modulus
JEE Main asked Searle's Experiment for Young's Modulus 2 times in 2 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2022 and 2025. It belongs to Elasticity, in Mechanical Properties of Solids (Physics). The longest wait between two years asking it was 3 years.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year
2017–2026. Asked in 2022 and 2025. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Physics questions.
Raw count: 2017: 0 in 1 shift · 2020: 0 in 12 shifts · 2021: 0 in 24 shifts · 2022: 1 in 24 shifts · 2023: 0 in 12 shifts · 2024: 0 in 18 shifts · 2025: 1 in 8 shifts · 2026: 0 in 9 shifts.

How JEE Main framed it
Numerical value is the usual form. Skill tested: calculation.
- Young modulus from wire extension
- Young modulus from extension per load vs length graph
