Question

  1. A. Transformers (HT only): iron-filings field pattern boundary shows (Physics only) (HT only) Explain how the ratio of potential differences across the two coils depends on the ratio of turns on each coil. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (AC-output error).
  3. C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (coil-core error).
  4. D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (compass-response error).

Answer

Transformers (HT only): iron-filings field pattern boundary shows (Physics only) (HT only) Explain how the ratio of potential differences across the two coils depends on the ratio of turns on each coil. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Transformers (HT only): iron-filings field pattern boundary shows (Physics only) (HT only) Explain how the ratio of potential differences across the two coils depends on the ratio of turns on each coil. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Transformers (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The iron-filings field pattern boundary 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 AC and DC

Treating AC and DC as interchangeable when answering about National Grid transformer reasoning.

Instead, identify the exact Unit 4.7 idea in Transformers (HT only), then explain how it links to a steel core electromagnet demonstration and the objective to explain how the ratio of potential differences across the two coils depends on the ratio of turns on each coil.
