Question
- A. Magnetic fields: coil-and-galvanometer induction diagnosis shows Explain how the behaviour of a magnetic compass is evidence that the core of the Earth must be magnetic. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (pole-test error).
- C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (load-effect error).
- D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (power-link error).
Answer
Magnetic fields: coil-and-galvanometer induction diagnosis shows Explain how the behaviour of a magnetic compass is evidence that the core of the Earth must be magnetic. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Magnetic fields: coil-and-galvanometer induction diagnosis shows Explain how the behaviour of a magnetic compass is evidence that the core of the Earth must be magnetic. 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 coil-and-galvanometer induction diagnosis detail makes the option distinct from nearby objectives while still testing the same AQA GCSE Physics learning objective. V10 boundary check fluxcue262a coilcue262b fieldcue262c polecue262d gridcue262e motorcue262f generatorcue262g transformercue262h compasscue262i currentcue262j voltagecue262k forcecue262l: in the motor effect, the force is perpendicular to the current and magnetic field; in a generator, relative motion or a changing magnetic field induces a potential difference or induced current; outside a magnet, magnetic field lines go from north to south; AC alternating current changes direction, while DC direct current flows in one direction and needs a commutator in a DC generator context.
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 steel core electromagnet demonstration and the objective to explain how the behaviour of a magnetic compass is evidence that the core of the Earth must be magnetic.
