Question
- A. Uses of the generator effect (HT only): scrapyard lifting magnet power-link 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.
- B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (application error).
- C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (measurement error).
- D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (diagnosis error).
Answer
Uses of the generator effect (HT only): scrapyard lifting magnet power-link 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): scrapyard lifting magnet power-link 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 scrapyard lifting magnet power-link 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.
