Question
- A. Uses of the generator effect (HT only): solenoid strength investigation load-effect shows (Physics only) (HT only) Draw graphs of potential difference generated in a coil against time. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It treats a permanent magnet as if it only works when current flows. (compass-response error).
- C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (pole-test error).
- D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (load-effect error).
Answer
Uses of the generator effect (HT only): solenoid strength investigation load-effect shows (Physics only) (HT only) Draw graphs of potential difference generated in a coil against time. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Uses of the generator effect (HT only): solenoid strength investigation load-effect shows (Physics only) (HT only) Draw graphs of potential difference generated in a coil against time. 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 solenoid strength investigation load-effect 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 loudspeaker coil moving in a magnetic field and the objective to draw graphs of potential difference generated in a coil against time.
