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

Question

  1. A. Induced potential (HT only): model railway motor pole-test shows (Physics only) (HT only) Distinguish induced current from supplied current in electromagnetic devices. 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

Induced potential (HT only): model railway motor pole-test shows (Physics only) (HT only) Distinguish induced current from supplied current in electromagnetic devices. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Induced potential (HT only): model railway motor pole-test shows (Physics only) (HT only) Distinguish induced current from supplied current in electromagnetic devices. 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 model railway motor pole-test 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 electromagnets and...

Treating electromagnets and permanent magnets 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 student comparing motor and generator effects and the objective to distinguish induced current from supplied current in electromagnetic devices.
