Question

  1. A. Magnetic fields: iron-filings field pattern measurement shows State that the Earth has a magnetic field. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (AC-output error).
  3. C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (coil-core error).
  4. D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (compass-response error).

Answer

Magnetic fields: iron-filings field pattern measurement shows State that the Earth has a magnetic field. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Magnetic fields: iron-filings field pattern measurement shows State that the Earth has a magnetic field. 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 iron-filings field pattern 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 step-down transformer for a low-voltage device and the objective to state that the Earth has a magnetic field.
