Induced potential, transformers and the National Grid (physics only) (HT only)

Question

  1. A. Transformers (HT only): National Grid substation measurement shows (Physics only) (HT only) Calculate the current drawn from the input supply to provide a particular power output. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It says field lines travel from south to north outside the magnet. (efficiency error).
  3. C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (energy-transfer error).
  4. D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (field-shape error).

Answer

Transformers (HT only): National Grid substation measurement shows (Physics only) (HT only) Calculate the current drawn from the input supply to provide a particular power output. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Transformers (HT only): National Grid substation measurement shows (Physics only) (HT only) Calculate the current drawn from the input supply to provide a particular power output. 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 National Grid substation 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-up transformer on the National Grid and the objective to calculate the current drawn from the input supply to provide a particular power output.
