Question

  1. A. Induced potential (HT only): laboratory bar magnet AC-output shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe how a potential difference is induced when there is a change in the magnetic field around a conductor. 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. (power-link error).
  3. C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (exam-command error).
  4. D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (direction error).

Answer

Induced potential (HT only): laboratory bar magnet AC-output shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe how a potential difference is induced when there is a change in the magnetic field around a conductor. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Induced potential (HT only): laboratory bar magnet AC-output shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe how a potential difference is induced when there is a change in the magnetic field around a conductor. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Induced potential (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The laboratory bar magnet AC-output 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 Induced potential (HT only), then explain how it links to a steel core electromagnet demonstration and the objective to describe how a potential difference is induced when there is a change in the magnetic field around a conductor.
