Question

  1. A. Uses of the generator effect (HT only): primary-secondary coil comparison load-effect shows (Physics only) (HT only) Interpret graphs of potential difference generated in a coil against time. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (cause error).
  3. C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (evidence error).
  4. D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (boundary error).

Answer

Uses of the generator effect (HT only): primary-secondary coil comparison load-effect shows (Physics only) (HT only) Interpret graphs of potential difference generated in a coil against time. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Uses of the generator effect (HT only): primary-secondary coil comparison load-effect shows (Physics only) (HT only) Interpret graphs of potential difference generated in a coil against time. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Uses of the generator effect (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The primary-secondary coil comparison load-effect 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 motors and generators

Treating motors and generators as interchangeable when answering about National Grid transformer reasoning.

Instead, identify the exact Unit 4.7 idea in Uses of the generator effect (HT only), then explain how it links to an alternator producing an AC output trace and the objective to interpret graphs of potential difference generated in a coil against time.
