JEE Main 2024 Electrostatics Weightage: Important Sub Topics & Total Number of Questions
The table below depicts the expected sub-topic-wise total number of questions asked in Electrostatics along with the previous year’s trends.
| Subtopics | 2024 (Expected) | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coulomb's Law. F=(Alpha)E. EF & U due to Point System | 9 | 9 | 9 | 10 |
| Gauss's Law, Electric Flux | 5 | 5 | 3 | 7 |
| EF due to uniformly charged wire, ring, disc, infinite sheet | 2 | 3 | 2 | 5 |
| V, E & Self Energy due to Solid sphere & Hollow Sphere (also graphs of V and E) | 5 | 6 | 1 | 2 |
| Conductor brought in contact, Conductor Properties | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
| Dipole in Uniform EF (Torque & PE) | 2 | 2 | 2 | - |
| SHM based questions | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Relation between E and V | 1 | 1 | 1 | - |
| V, E due to short dipole, dipole moment | 1 | 1 | - | 1 |
| EF due to non-uniform Charge (rod, sphere etc) | 1 | - | 1 | - |
| Total | 30 questions | 30 questions | 23 questions | 29 questions |
