Question

  1. A. Uses of the generator effect (HT only): classroom plotting compass power-link shows (Physics only) (HT only) Distinguish ac output from dc output using potential difference-time graphs. 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. (energy-transfer error).
  3. C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (field-shape error).
  4. D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (current-change error).

Answer

Uses of the generator effect (HT only): classroom plotting compass power-link shows (Physics only) (HT only) Distinguish ac output from dc output using potential difference-time graphs. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Uses of the generator effect (HT only): classroom plotting compass power-link shows (Physics only) (HT only) Distinguish ac output from dc output using potential difference-time graphs. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Uses of the generator effect (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The classroom plotting compass power-link 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 Uses of the generator effect (HT only), then explain how it links to a dynamo producing a DC output trace and the objective to distinguish ac output from dc output using potential difference-time graphs.
