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

Question

  1. A. Induced potential (HT only): step-up transformer demonstration coil-core shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe induced potential difference and induced current as the generator effect. 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. (force-link error).
  3. C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (turns-ratio error).
  4. D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (AC-output error).

Answer

Induced potential (HT only): step-up transformer demonstration coil-core shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe induced potential difference and induced current as the generator effect. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Induced potential (HT only): step-up transformer demonstration coil-core shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe induced potential difference and induced current as the generator effect. 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 step-up transformer demonstration coil-core 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 Induced potential (HT only), then explain how it links to a loudspeaker coil moving in a magnetic field and the objective to describe induced potential difference and induced current as the generator effect.
