Question

  1. A. Transformers (HT only): moving-wire motor effect direction shows (Physics only) (HT only) Recognise that knowledge of laminations and eddy currents in the core is not required. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It treats a permanent magnet as if it only works when current flows. (exam-command error).
  3. C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (direction error).
  4. D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (cause error).

Answer

Transformers (HT only): moving-wire motor effect direction shows (Physics only) (HT only) Recognise that knowledge of laminations and eddy currents in the core is not required. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Transformers (HT only): moving-wire motor effect direction shows (Physics only) (HT only) Recognise that knowledge of laminations and eddy currents in the core is not required. 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 moving-wire motor effect direction 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 loudspeaker coil moving in a magnetic field and the objective to recognise that knowledge of laminations and eddy currents in the core is not required.
