Work Energy & Power NEET Questions - With Solutions (Previous Year)

Work, Energy & Power typically contributes 2–3 questions in NEET every year, worth 8–12 

marks. Based on analysis of NEET papers from 2010 to 2024, this chapter has never had fewer 

than 2 questions in any single year. Conservation of energy and the work-energy theorem are 

the most frequently tested sub-topics.

Yes, it is one of the most important chapters in Class 11 Physics for NEET 2026. The chapter 

is high-yield because it has consistent annual weightage, moderate difficulty, and strong 

overlap with other chapters like Rotational Motion and Laws of Motion. Students targeting 

650+ in NEET should aim to score full marks from this chapter.

Conservation of mechanical energy and the work-energy theorem are asked most frequently, 

together accounting for roughly 40% of all PYQs from this chapter. Elastic and inelastic 

collisions are next, followed by power problems and spring potential energy questions.

Start with NCERT Class 11 Physics Chapter 6 — read every example and exercise. Then solve 

all NCERT exercises (refer to 

NCERT Solutions Class 11 Physics 

for step-by-step answers). After that, solve topic-wise PYQs starting from Conservation of 

Energy, then move to collision problems. Aim to complete all PYQs from the last 10 years 

before your mock test phase begins.

Most questions from this chapter are of easy-to-medium difficulty. Roughly 60% of NEET 

questions from Work, Energy & Power can be solved in under 90 seconds with correct formula 

selection. Collision problems (especially two-body elastic collisions) tend to be the most 

calculation-intensive and are considered medium-to-hard. Consistent PYQ practice reduces 

solving time significantly.
