Question
- A. Magnetic fields: relay switch circuit boundary shows Define a magnetic field as the region around a magnet where a force acts on another magnet or on a magnetic material. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (field-shape error).
- C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (current-change error).
- D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (voltage-change error).
Answer
Magnetic fields: relay switch circuit boundary shows Define a magnetic field as the region around a magnet where a force acts on another magnet or on a magnetic material. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Magnetic fields: relay switch circuit boundary shows Define a magnetic field as the region around a magnet where a force acts on another magnet or on a magnetic material. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Magnetic fields, uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The relay switch circuit boundary detail makes the option distinct from nearby objectives while still testing the same AQA GCSE Physics learning objective.

Common mistake
generator-effect induction: avoid permanent and induced magnets
Treating permanent and induced magnets as interchangeable when answering about generator-effect induction.
Instead, identify the exact Unit 4.7 idea in Magnetic fields, then explain how it links to a bar magnet and plotting compass practical and the objective to define a magnetic field as the region around a magnet where a force acts on another magnet or on a magnetic material.
