Question
- A. Transformers (HT only): primary-secondary coil comparison 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.
- B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (cause error).
- C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (evidence error).
- D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (boundary error).
Answer
Transformers (HT only): primary-secondary coil comparison 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): primary-secondary coil comparison 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 primary-secondary coil comparison 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.
