Question
- A. Transformers (HT only): scrapyard lifting magnet evidence shows (Physics only) (HT only) Recall and apply the transformer equation Vp / Vs = np / ns. 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
Transformers (HT only): scrapyard lifting magnet evidence shows (Physics only) (HT only) Recall and apply the transformer equation Vp / Vs = np / ns. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Transformers (HT only): scrapyard lifting magnet evidence shows (Physics only) (HT only) Recall and apply the transformer equation Vp / Vs = np / ns. 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 scrapyard lifting magnet 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-up transformer on the National Grid and the objective to recall and apply the transformer equation Vp / Vs = np / ns.
