Torque in Uniform Field

JEE Main asked Torque in Uniform Field 4 times in 4 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2017, 2022, 2023 and 2025. It belongs to Electric Dipoles, in Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance (Physics). The longest wait between two years asking it was 5 years, across 2018 and 2019, which Lumi has no shifts for.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year

2017–2026. Asked in 2017, 2022, 2023 and 2025. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Physics questions.
