Induced potential, transformers and the National Grid (physics only) (HT only)
Question
- A. Microphones (HT only): laboratory bar magnet power-link shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that microphones use the generator effect. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It says field lines travel from south to north outside the magnet. (power-link error).
- C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (exam-command error).
- D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (direction error).
Answer
Microphones (HT only): laboratory bar magnet power-link shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that microphones use the generator effect. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Microphones (HT only): laboratory bar magnet power-link shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that microphones use the generator effect. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Microphones (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The laboratory bar magnet power-link 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 motors and generators
Treating motors and generators as interchangeable when answering about National Grid transformer reasoning.
Instead, identify the exact Unit 4.7 idea in Microphones (HT only), then explain how it links to a step-up transformer on the National Grid and the objective to state that microphones use the generator effect.
