Question
- A. Transformers (HT only): solenoid strength investigation diagnosis shows (Physics only) (HT only) Recognise that transformer equations are given on the Physics equation sheet. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It treats a permanent magnet as if it only works when current flows. (compass-response error).
- C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (pole-test error).
- D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (load-effect error).
Answer
Transformers (HT only): solenoid strength investigation diagnosis shows (Physics only) (HT only) Recognise that transformer equations are given on the Physics equation sheet. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Transformers (HT only): solenoid strength investigation diagnosis shows (Physics only) (HT only) Recognise that transformer equations are given on the Physics equation sheet. 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 solenoid strength investigation diagnosis 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 steel core electromagnet demonstration and the objective to recognise that transformer equations are given on the Physics equation sheet.
