Force and Newton's Laws of Motion — JAMB Physics Past Questions
Force and Newton's Laws of Motion 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 Force and Newton's Laws of Motion questions with worked answers.
When JAMB examined Force and Newton's Laws of Motion
Force and Newton's Laws of Motion 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.

Electrical power is transmitted at a high voltage rather than low voltage because the amount of energy loss is reduced due to:
- A Heat dissipation
- B Production of eddy current
- C Excessive current discharge
- D Excessive voltage discharge
Answer: A
Power loss \( P = I^2R \). For the same power, increasing voltage reduces current, which reduces energy loss due to heat dissipation.
