18. (I) E.m.f of the cell is 6V, As when load current is zero potential 
difference becomes equal to emf of the cell.  
(II) Explanation: The internal resistance of a cell can be determined as the 
negative slope of its voltage–current graph. 
First, we can determine the slope by choosing two points on the line: 
                                          Slope = 
?? -?? ???? -?? = - 0.5  
This means that the internal resistance must be 0.50 ohm (O).  
For VI-Candidates 
E = V + v = IR + Ir     
(where V is potential drop in the external circuit and v is potential drop in 
the cell) 
Or, E = I (R + r)  
Or, I = E / (R + r)

FAQs on Class 12 Physics: CBSE Marking Scheme (2025-26)

1. What is the CBSE marking scheme for Class 12 Physics?
Ans. The CBSE marking scheme for Class 12 Physics typically includes a distribution of marks across various sections of the examination. The question paper is generally divided into sections that include very short answer questions, short answer questions, and long answer questions. Each section carries a specific weightage, contributing to the total marks of the exam. The scheme aims to assess a student's understanding of concepts, problem-solving skills, and application of Physics in real-life situations.
2. How can students prepare effectively for the Class 12 Physics exam?
Ans. Students can prepare effectively for the Class 12 Physics exam by following a structured study plan. This includes understanding the syllabus thoroughly, focusing on concepts rather than rote learning, and practising numerical problems regularly. Making use of NCERT textbooks, previous years' question papers, and sample papers can also enhance preparation. Group studies and discussions can further clarify doubts and reinforce knowledge. Regular revision and staying updated with the latest exam patterns are also crucial.
3. What are the key topics that students should focus on for the Class 12 Physics exam?
Ans. Key topics for the Class 12 Physics exam typically include Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Magnetic Effects of Current, Electromagnetic Induction, Optics, Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter, Atoms and Nuclei, and Electronic Devices. Understanding these concepts is essential as they form the basis for many applications in Physics. Students should also pay attention to practical experiments and their underlying principles, as they are often included in the examination.
4. Is there any practical component in the Class 12 Physics exam?
Ans. Yes, there is a practical component in the Class 12 Physics exam. Students are required to perform experiments and demonstrate their understanding of practical applications of Physics. The practical examination assesses students' skills in conducting experiments, recording observations, and analysing results. It is important for students to be familiar with the laboratory equipment and procedures, as well as the principles behind the experiments they perform.
5. How does the marking scheme for NEET differ from that of the Class 12 Physics exam?
Ans. The marking scheme for NEET differs significantly from that of the Class 12 Physics exam. NEET is a competitive entrance examination for medical courses and primarily focuses on Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Each subject has a specific number of questions, and the marking scheme typically includes positive marking for correct answers and negative marking for incorrect responses. In contrast, the Class 12 Physics exam assesses overall understanding of the subject with a greater emphasis on concepts and practical applications, without the competitive aspect of negative marking.
