Question

  1. A. Transformers (HT only): coil-and-galvanometer induction cause shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that the ratio of the potential differences across the primary and secondary coils depends on the ratio of the number of turns on each coil. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (pole-test error).
  3. C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (load-effect error).
  4. D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (power-link error).

Answer

Transformers (HT only): coil-and-galvanometer induction cause shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that the ratio of the potential differences across the primary and secondary coils depends on the ratio of the number of turns on each coil. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Transformers (HT only): coil-and-galvanometer induction cause shows (Physics only) (HT only) State that the ratio of the potential differences across the primary and secondary coils depends on the ratio of the number of turns on each coil. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Transformers (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The coil-and-galvanometer induction cause 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 AC and DC

Treating AC and DC as interchangeable when answering about National Grid transformer reasoning.

Instead, identify the exact Unit 4.7 idea in Transformers (HT only), then explain how it links to a moving-coil microphone investigation and the objective to state that the ratio of the potential differences across the primary and secondary coils depends on the ratio of the number of turns on each coil.
