Question

  1. A. Transformers (HT only): step-down charger transformer measurement shows (Physics only) (HT only) Apply the equation linking potential differences and turns to current and power transfer. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (turns-ratio error).
  3. C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (AC-output error).
  4. D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (coil-core error).

Answer

Transformers (HT only): step-down charger transformer measurement shows (Physics only) (HT only) Apply the equation linking potential differences and turns to current and power transfer. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Transformers (HT only): step-down charger transformer measurement shows (Physics only) (HT only) Apply the equation linking potential differences and turns to current and power transfer. 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 step-down charger transformer measurement 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 step-down transformer for a low-voltage device and the objective to apply the equation linking potential differences and turns to current and power transfer.
