Elasticity — JAMB Physics Past Questions
Elasticity is one topic inside the JAMB Physics syllabus, and drilling it on its own is usually faster than revising the whole subject again. Below: which JAMB years have examined it, then real Elasticity questions with worked answers.
When JAMB examined Elasticity
Elasticity questions appear in our bank for the JAMB years below. This is taken from the questions themselves, not from a syllabus outline — so if a year is listed, this topic was genuinely examined that year.
A topic that keeps reappearing is a topic JAMB keeps testing. Newer years matter most, because question style drifts.

If the resistance of a material increases with temperature; it is a
- A Semiconductor
- B Metal
- C Insulator
- D None of these
Answer: B
Metals have positive temperature coefficients.

Elasticity in JAMB Physics: common questions
Are Elasticity questions free?
Yes. Create a free account and every Physics question tagged to Elasticity is available with a worked explanation. Past questions are not paywalled.
Is Elasticity really examined?
Yes. Elasticity appears in our bank across 4 JAMB years, taken from the questions themselves rather than a syllabus outline.
Can I practise Elasticity on its own?
Yes. JambUp lets you filter Physics questions to a single topic, so you can drill Elasticity until it stops costing you marks, then move on to the next weak area.
