NEET Pattern Summary:
- 3–4 questions/year from Current Electricity
- 1–2 numerical (Wheatstone/metre bridge, potentiometer)
- 1–2 conceptual (drift velocity, temperature, power)
- Kirchhoff's laws applied in multi-loop numerical problems
- Potentiometer and Wheatstone bridge together contribute the majority of numericals
