1 |P a g e ZIET BHUBANESWAR/ T Samrajya Lakshmi PGT (Physics)

Thank you for downloading this booklet on Test papers for class XII in physics. The
idea of this booklet is mainly to make the readers to go through the NCERT Text book.
Before answering this test series please go through the chapter in the NCERT text book
and then proceed to answer the test papers related to that chapter. Answer to each
question can be obtained from the text book itself. The advantage of this booklet is
that the page number in which the answer to that particular question can be obtained
is shown against the question itself.
These test papers can be used to evaluate one’s performance with respect to a particular
chapter. If the student evaluates himself one will come to know what type of questions
will be given for 1 mark, 2 marks & 3 marks and how much time each question takes
to answer and what type of preparation one requires.
My sincere thanks to those sites from which I have downloaded the images/material
from the internet.
Please don’t forget to give your feedback to the following address zietbbsr@gmail.com
