Induced potential, transformers and the National Grid (physics only) (HT only)
Question
- A. Transformers (HT only): National Grid substation evidence shows (Physics only) (HT only) Identify Vp and Vs as potential differences in volts. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It says field lines travel from south to north outside the magnet. (efficiency error).
- C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (energy-transfer error).
- D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (field-shape error).
Answer
Transformers (HT only): National Grid substation evidence shows (Physics only) (HT only) Identify Vp and Vs as potential differences in volts. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Transformers (HT only): National Grid substation evidence shows (Physics only) (HT only) Identify Vp and Vs as potential differences in volts. 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 National Grid substation evidence 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 magnetic field...
Treating magnetic field direction and force direction 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 step-down transformer for a low-voltage device and the objective to identify Vp and Vs as potential differences in volts.
