ICSE Class 10 Physics Question Paper - 2018 Board Examinations

ICSE Class 10 Question Paper Available on Vedantu

Class 10 Physics can be considerably difficult for students to grasp in the absence of clarity of basic concepts. Mere rote learning would not be of much use for students in this subject. Having a fair idea about what kind of questions may come in the examination, and the manner of answering those would ensure that students manage to score high marks in the examination. Having solved question papers from previous years will help students get an idea about the paper pattern and the general atmosphere of the examination. Before appearing to write the final board exam, if students have solved a couple of these sample papers, it prepares them to handle the exam pressure and finish their exam in the prescribed time. To that end, students may refer to the ICSE 2018 Physics question paper on the Vedantu website or the app to understand the pattern of questions asked.

Practising ICSE class 10 Physics question paper 2018 is critical for students to acquire the much-needed accuracy in answers. Apart from enabling students to score more marks in examinations, writing the mock answers would also help to determine whether there is any gap in understanding any topic. The solution to the 2018 ICSE Physics question paper indicates the pattern and structure of answers. This PDF material can be downloaded from Vedantu’s official website without any charge. The question paper covers and tries to encompass the whole syllabus of class 10 physics for the ICSE board, so that students get to practice as many questions as they can.

ICSE 2018 Physics Question Paper

Below mentioned are a few questions included in the ICSE Physics question paper 2018

Question 1 in 2018 Physics Board Paper ICSE

This question is taken from the first unit ‘Force, Work, energy and Power’ and asks the students the definition of power and its S.I. unit. Other sub-questions include the relationship between the S.I. unit of power and the unit of horsepower. Both the answers to this question mandate the mention of the formula and its related derivation and the units.

Question 2 in 2018 Physics Question Paper ICSE

Question 2 asks the students about the power of a lens. The question is taken from Unit two of class 10 physics, ‘Light’. Its focal length and type of lens have to be found out. This question on the lens also mentions hypothetical situations and asks for the outcome. For instance, the position of an object placed in the front of a converging lens has to be determined under various conditions.

Question 3 in Physics ICSE 2018 Question Paper

Question 3 is taken from unit 3 of class 10 ICSE Physics, ‘Sound’, and shows a displacement distance graph among two sound waves, A and B. The students are asked to draw a comparison between their wavelengths and amplitude. The second part of the question is taken from unit 4 of the second-semester syllabus and asks students to arrange certain resistors in such a way that the overall resistance does not exceed 7 ohms. A diagram and the equivalent resistance are also required to complete the answer.

Question 4 in ICSE Physics 2018 Question Paper

This is a short question having two sub-sections. The first subsection requires the process of conversion of Celsius to S.I. unit of temperature, and the second subsections ask the name of a specific liquid when its different characteristics are given.

Question 5 in ICSE 2018 Physics Question Paper

This question is part of section two of the question paper and also marks the beginning of 10 marks questions. Question 5 is primarily about deriving various relationships such as between the C.G.S unit and S.I. unit of work. It also requires drawing a specific diagram to show a block and tackle pulley system of a given velocity ratio. All the components should be marked in the diagram to make certain the student gets full marks for the answer.

Question 6 in 2018 Physics ICSE Question Paper

Question 6 is taken from unit 2 of Light and is mainly based on the topic of prisms. A diagram indicated where a ray of light passes through a right-angled isosceles prism. The angle of the incident ray and the surface of the prism that will act as a mirror will have to be indicated. The students are asked to find the angle of incidence and emergence of light. The next part of the question is about lenses.

Solving the previous years’ question papers imparts students with the necessary insight about how to answer in the examination.

FAQs on ICSE Class 10 Physics Question Paper - 2018 Board Examinations

1. What is understood by scattering in Physics?

ICSE Class 10 Physics 2018 solved paper includes the question on scattering. Scattering pertains to the alteration of the direction of motion of a particle. It takes place due to collision taking place among different particles owing to repulsion forces existent among ions. The question is taken from chapter ‘Light’ and can be asked as a part of a multi-step question from the same chapter. Scattering is demonstrated by prisms, mirrors, etc. students can view the complete class 10 physics question paper for the ICSE board at the Vedantu website.

2.What are free vibrations in a body?

Free vibrations of a body occur when a system undergoes momentary disturbance, and subsequently, the same body is allowed to move without applying any restraint. The concept is elaborated in the solution to ICSE class 10 Physics previous year question paper 2018, and one of the significant examples of such a phenomenon is a weight that is suspended from a spring. The question is taken from class 10 physics syllabus unit 1 that is Work, Energy, and Power, and can be asked to students in the exam.

3. What is nuclear fusion?

The answer to nuclear fusion can be found in the solution of Physics question paper 2018 ICSE class 10. The simple definition of the same is a process within which one or multiple light nuclei undergo fusion. The fusion process leads to the generation of a comparatively heavier nucleus. Such a nucleus has a deficiency in mass as a result of the release of energy. The quantity of released energy is represented by the formula E = mc2. In this equation, 'E' is energy indicated by the unit Joules, 'm' is the mass difference shown by kilograms, and the speed of light is represented by 'c'.

4. Where can I download the class 10 physics ICSE syllabus?

Students can find the class 10 Physics syllabus for the ICSE board on the Vedantu website or the app. This syllabus is made keeping in mind the guidelines by CISCE and therefore has accurate information for the benefit of the students. It is important to gather the syllabus right before students start their preparation so that they can be ahead of their peers and plan their study schedule. Knowing the syllabus also benefits by giving the student an idea about how much syllabus they still have to cover and what is already done.

5. Can I find solutions for Selina class 10 physics of ICSE board?
