Question

  1. A. Microphones (HT only): moving-wire motor effect 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.
  2. B. It treats a permanent magnet as if it only works when current flows. (exam-command error).
  3. C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (direction error).
  4. D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (cause error).

Answer

Microphones (HT only): moving-wire motor effect 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): moving-wire motor effect 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 moving-wire motor effect 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.
