Question

  1. A. Transformers (HT only): coil-and-galvanometer induction 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.
  2. B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (pole-test error).
  3. C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (load-effect error).
  4. D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (power-link error).

Answer

Transformers (HT only): coil-and-galvanometer induction 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): coil-and-galvanometer induction 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 coil-and-galvanometer induction 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.
