Question

  1. A. Magnetic fields: laboratory bar magnet application shows Describe the direction of a magnetic field as the direction of the force on a north pole placed at that point. 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. (power-link error).
  3. C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (exam-command error).
  4. D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (direction error).

Answer

Magnetic fields: laboratory bar magnet application shows Describe the direction of a magnetic field as the direction of the force on a north pole placed at that point. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Magnetic fields: laboratory bar magnet application shows Describe the direction of a magnetic field as the direction of the force on a north pole placed at that point. 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 laboratory bar magnet application 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 dynamo producing a DC output trace and the objective to describe the direction of a magnetic field as the direction of the force on a north pole placed at that point.
