Question
- A. Magnetic fields: solenoid strength investigation measurement shows State that the Earth has a magnetic field. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It treats a permanent magnet as if it only works when current flows. (compass-response error).
- C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (pole-test error).
- D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (load-effect error).
Answer
Magnetic fields: solenoid strength investigation 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: solenoid strength investigation 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 solenoid strength investigation 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.
