Induced potential, transformers and the National Grid (physics only) (HT only)

Question

  1. A. Induced potential (HT only): overhead cable transmission coil-core shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that an induced current generates a magnetic field that opposes the original change. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (load-effect error).
  3. C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (power-link error).
  4. D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (exam-command error).

Answer

Induced potential (HT only): overhead cable transmission coil-core shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that an induced current generates a magnetic field that opposes the original change. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Induced potential (HT only): overhead cable transmission coil-core shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that an induced current generates a magnetic field that opposes the original change. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Induced potential (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The overhead cable transmission coil-core 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 induced and supplied...

Treating induced and supplied current as interchangeable when answering about National Grid transformer reasoning.

Instead, identify the exact Unit 4.7 idea in Induced potential (HT only), then explain how it links to an alternator producing an AC output trace and the objective to state that an induced current generates a magnetic field that opposes the original change.
