Current Electricity contributed 34 of the 387 NEET Physics questions between 2020 and 2026 (Re-NEET 2026 included). That is 8.8% of the subject and makes it the #1 chapter out of 30 by weightage — roughly 4.3 questions per paper, peaking at 6 in NEET 2020.
Of the 34 questions tagged for difficulty, 29% were easy, 62% medium and 9% hard — mostly medium-level questions that reward practice beyond one-line facts.
It has been asked less often lately: 3 questions per paper across NEET 2025, NEET 2026 and Re-NEET 2026, against 5.7 in 2020–2022.
The single most-tested topic is Combination of resistors (Combination of Resistors: Series and Parallel) — 3 questions across 3 papers.
22 topics tagged under Current Electricity. Numbers show how many questions each topic had in each paper; E / M / H are the easy, medium and hard counts.
