Question
- A. Poles of a magnet: alternator output trace direction shows State that two unlike magnetic poles attract each other. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (direction error).
- C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (cause error).
- D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (evidence error).
Answer
Poles of a magnet: alternator output trace direction shows State that two unlike magnetic poles attract each other. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Poles of a magnet: alternator output trace direction shows State that two unlike magnetic poles attract each other. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Poles of a magnet, uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The alternator output trace direction 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 Poles of a magnet, then explain how it links to a loudspeaker coil moving in a magnetic field and the objective to state that two unlike magnetic poles attract each other.
