How Magnetism and Matter is examined in RBSE

A quick map of the chapter before you download — so you know what the questions are testing.

If you have gone through the last decade of RBSE Class 12 Physics papers, you will notice Chapter 5 (Magnetism and Matter) is tested every year without fail. It belongs to Unit III — Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism and is drawn from a pool of 19 previous-year questions spanning 2013–2026, spread across MCQs, very short, short and long-answer sections. The topics rotate, but the question patterns stay remarkably steady.

Expect a quick 1-mark opener on classifying diamagnetic, paramagnetic or ferromagnetic substances, or drawing the hysteresis (B–H) curve. The 2-mark questions lean on magnetic declination numericals and the properties needed to make a permanent magnet. Being a short chapter, it does not carry a long-answer derivation every year, which makes the repeated short-answer questions especially worth mastering.

So the smart way to revise this chapter is not to read it end to end, but to practise the questions RBSE actually repeats. The five questions above — and the ten in the free sample PDF — are taken straight from real board papers and tagged with the exact years they appeared, so you can see for yourself what the full RBSE Physics chapterwise PYQ book offers before you decide to buy it.
