Question

  1. A. Magnetic fields: bench-top compass mapping measurement shows State that magnetic field lines go from the north-seeking pole to the south-seeking pole of a magnet. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It treats a permanent magnet as if it only works when current flows. (boundary error).
  3. C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (application error).
  4. D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (measurement error).

Answer

Magnetic fields: bench-top compass mapping measurement shows State that magnetic field lines go from the north-seeking pole to the south-seeking pole of a magnet. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Magnetic fields: bench-top compass mapping measurement shows State that magnetic field lines go from the north-seeking pole to the south-seeking pole of a magnet. 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 bench-top compass mapping measurement 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 moving-coil microphone investigation and the objective to state that magnetic field lines go from the north-seeking pole to the south-seeking pole of a magnet.
