Question
- A. Transformers (HT only): iron-filings field pattern application shows (Physics only) (HT only) Identify Vp x Ip as power input and Vs x Is as power output. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (AC-output error).
- C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (coil-core error).
- D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (compass-response error).
Answer
Transformers (HT only): iron-filings field pattern application shows (Physics only) (HT only) Identify Vp x Ip as power input and Vs x Is as power output. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Transformers (HT only): iron-filings field pattern application shows (Physics only) (HT only) Identify Vp x Ip as power input and Vs x Is as power output. 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 application 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 dynamo producing a DC output trace and the objective to identify Vp x Ip as power input and Vs x Is as power output.
