Question
- A. Transformers (HT only): temporary induced magnet evidence shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe a step-up transformer as having secondary potential difference greater than primary potential difference. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It says field lines travel from south to north outside the magnet. (evidence error).
- C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (boundary error).
- D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (application error).
Answer
Transformers (HT only): temporary induced magnet evidence shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe a step-up transformer as having secondary potential difference greater than primary potential difference. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Transformers (HT only): temporary induced magnet evidence shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe a step-up transformer as having secondary potential difference greater than primary potential difference. 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 temporary induced magnet evidence 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 primary and secondary...
Treating primary and secondary coils 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 describe a step-up transformer as having secondary potential difference greater than primary potential difference.
