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

Question

  1. A. Transformers (HT only): relay switch circuit 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.
  2. B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (field-shape error).
  3. C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (current-change error).
  4. D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (voltage-change error).

Answer

Transformers (HT only): relay switch circuit 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): relay switch circuit 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 relay switch circuit 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.
