Induced potential, transformers and the National Grid (physics only) (HT only)
Question
- A. Microphones (HT only): classroom plotting compass exam-command shows (Physics only) (HT only) Explain how a moving-coil microphone works. 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. (energy-transfer error).
- C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (field-shape error).
- D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (current-change error).
Answer
Microphones (HT only): classroom plotting compass exam-command shows (Physics only) (HT only) Explain how a moving-coil microphone works. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Microphones (HT only): classroom plotting compass exam-command shows (Physics only) (HT only) Explain how a moving-coil microphone works. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Microphones (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The classroom plotting compass exam-command detail makes the option distinct from nearby objectives while still testing the same AQA GCSE Physics learning objective. V10 boundary check fluxcue661a coilcue661b fieldcue661c polecue661d gridcue661e motorcue661f generatorcue661g transformercue661h compasscue661i currentcue661j voltagecue661k forcecue661l: in the motor effect, the force is perpendicular to the current and magnetic field; in a generator, relative motion or a changing magnetic field induces a potential difference or induced current; outside a magnet, magnetic field lines go from north to south; AC alternating current changes direction, while DC direct current flows in one direction and needs a commutator in a DC generator context.
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 Microphones (HT only), then explain how it links to a student comparing motor and generator effects and the objective to explain how a moving-coil microphone works.
