Question
- A. Transformers (HT only): relay switch circuit diagnosis shows (Physics only) (HT only) Apply MS 1c, MS 3b and MS 3c when linking transformer calculations to power transmission. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (field-shape error).
- C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (current-change error).
- D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (voltage-change error).
Answer
Transformers (HT only): relay switch circuit diagnosis shows (Physics only) (HT only) Apply MS 1c, MS 3b and MS 3c when linking transformer calculations to power transmission. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Transformers (HT only): relay switch circuit diagnosis shows (Physics only) (HT only) Apply MS 1c, MS 3b and MS 3c when linking transformer calculations to power transmission. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Transformers (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The relay switch circuit diagnosis detail makes the option distinct from nearby objectives while still testing the same AQA GCSE Physics learning objective.

Common mistake
National Grid transformer reasoning: avoid magnetic field...
Treating magnetic field direction and force direction as interchangeable when answering about National Grid transformer reasoning.
Instead, identify the exact Unit 4.7 idea in Transformers (HT only), then explain how it links to a bar magnet and plotting compass practical and the objective to apply MS 1c, MS 3b and MS 3c when linking transformer calculations to power transmission.
