Question
- A. Transformers (HT only): overhead cable transmission 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.
- B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (load-effect error).
- C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (power-link error).
- D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (exam-command error).
Answer
Transformers (HT only): overhead cable transmission 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): overhead cable transmission 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 overhead cable transmission 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.
