Question

  1. A. Microphones (HT only): model railway motor exam-command shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe how pressure variations in sound waves are converted into variations in current in electrical circuits. 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. (diagnosis error).
  3. C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (prediction error).
  4. D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (comparison error).

Answer

Microphones (HT only): model railway motor exam-command shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe how pressure variations in sound waves are converted into variations in current in electrical circuits. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Microphones (HT only): model railway motor exam-command shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe how pressure variations in sound waves are converted into variations in current in electrical circuits. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Microphones (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The model railway motor exam-command 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 Microphones (HT only), then explain how it links to a step-down transformer for a low-voltage device and the objective to describe how pressure variations in sound waves are converted into variations in current in electrical circuits.
