Question

  1. A. Uses of the generator effect (HT only): step-down charger transformer power-link shows (Physics only) (HT only) Apply WS 1.4 when interpreting diagrams and graphs of generator-effect devices. 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

Uses of the generator effect (HT only): step-down charger transformer power-link shows (Physics only) (HT only) Apply WS 1.4 when interpreting diagrams and graphs of generator-effect devices. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Uses of the generator effect (HT only): step-down charger transformer power-link shows (Physics only) (HT only) Apply WS 1.4 when interpreting diagrams and graphs of generator-effect devices. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Uses of the generator effect (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 power-link 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 motors and generators

Treating motors and generators as interchangeable when answering about National Grid transformer reasoning.

Instead, identify the exact Unit 4.7 idea in Uses of the generator effect (HT only), then explain how it links to a moving-coil microphone investigation and the objective to apply WS 1.4 when interpreting diagrams and graphs of generator-effect devices.
