Free online mock test for Electricity and Magnetism (ICSE Class 10 Physics) — 20 competency-based questions based on the latest CISCE 2027 syllabus, with instant marking. Try the samples below, then take the full test free.

What to expect: This mock test covers key concepts from the Electricity and Magnetism chapter — including application-based and competency-focused questions aligned with how ICSE actually sets the paper.

Tip: Attempt without notes first to identify gaps, then review explanations for any wrong answers. Retake after a few days for best retention.

Sample questions

  1. 1.An electric kettle rated 250 V can bring a certain amount of water to its boiling point in 8 min. If it is connected to 200 V mains, calculate the time in which water comes to its boiling point.
    • A.2.15 min
    • B.12.5 min
    • C.5.45 min
    • D.3.45 min
  2. 2.The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm's Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes E1 & E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculates the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills the tube 2. img-89.jpeg Neglecting internal resistance of the cell use ($>$ or $<$ or $=$) to compare: (a) the resistance in both the cases. (b) the voltmeter readings in both the cases. (c) the specific resistance in both the cases.
  3. 3.What is a substance called if it exhibits nearly zero resistance at a temperature of 1 K?
    • A.Semiconductor
    • B.Insulator
    • C.Super conductor
    • D.Conductor
  4. 4.Kilowatt hour is commercial unit of :
    • a.heat energy
    • b.mechanical energy
    • c.power
    • d.electric energy
  5. 5.In a step-up transformer, which coil is made thicker and for what primary reason?
    • A.The secondary coil, to handle higher voltage output.
    • B.The primary coil, to reduce energy loss due to heating.
