Question

  1. A. Poles of a magnet: National Grid substation direction shows Describe how two magnets exert forces on each other when brought close together. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It says field lines travel from south to north outside the magnet. (efficiency error).
  3. C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (energy-transfer error).
  4. D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (field-shape error).

Answer

Poles of a magnet: National Grid substation direction shows Describe how two magnets exert forces on each other when brought close together. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Poles of a magnet: National Grid substation direction shows Describe how two magnets exert forces on each other when brought close together. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Poles of a magnet, uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The National Grid substation direction 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 Poles of a magnet, then explain how it links to a steel core electromagnet demonstration and the objective to describe how two magnets exert forces on each other when brought close together.
