  1. A.Transformers (HT only): step-up transformer demonstration direction shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that iron is used in the core because it is easily magnetised. 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. (force-link error).
  3. C.It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (turns-ratio error).
  4. D.It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (AC-output error).
