Question
- A. Induced potential (HT only): step-down charger transformer 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.
- B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (turns-ratio error).
- C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (AC-output error).
- D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (coil-core error).
Answer
Induced potential (HT only): step-down charger transformer 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-down charger transformer 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-down charger transformer 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.
