Question

  1. A. Uses of the generator effect (HT only): loudspeaker cone test pole-test shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that the generator effect is used in an alternator to generate alternating current. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (current-change error).
  3. C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (voltage-change error).
  4. D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (force-link error).

Answer

Uses of the generator effect (HT only): loudspeaker cone test pole-test shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that the generator effect is used in an alternator to generate alternating current. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Uses of the generator effect (HT only): loudspeaker cone test pole-test shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that the generator effect is used in an alternator to generate alternating current. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Uses of the generator effect (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The loudspeaker cone test pole-test 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 Uses of the generator effect (HT only), then explain how it links to a calculation using primary and secondary coils and the objective to state that the generator effect is used in an alternator to generate alternating current.
