Question

  1. A. Transformers (HT only): classroom plotting compass 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 treats a permanent magnet as if it only works when current flows. (energy-transfer error).
  3. C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (field-shape error).
  4. D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (current-change error).

Answer

Transformers (HT only): classroom plotting compass 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): classroom plotting compass 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 classroom plotting compass 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.
