Question

  1. A. Transformers (HT only): scrapyard lifting magnet diagnosis shows (Physics only) (HT only) Apply MS 3b and MS 3c when using transformer equations. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (application error).
  3. C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (measurement error).
  4. D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (diagnosis error).

Answer

Transformers (HT only): scrapyard lifting magnet diagnosis shows (Physics only) (HT only) Apply MS 3b and MS 3c when using transformer equations. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Transformers (HT only): scrapyard lifting magnet diagnosis shows (Physics only) (HT only) Apply MS 3b and MS 3c when using transformer equations. 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 scrapyard lifting magnet 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 calculation using primary and secondary coils and the objective to apply MS 3b and MS 3c when using transformer equations.
