Question
- A. Electromagnetism: classroom plotting compass safety shows Define an electromagnet as a solenoid with an iron core. 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. (energy-transfer error).
- C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (field-shape error).
- D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (current-change error).
Answer
Electromagnetism: classroom plotting compass safety shows Define an electromagnet as a solenoid with an iron core. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Electromagnetism: classroom plotting compass safety shows Define an electromagnet as a solenoid with an iron core. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Electromagnetism, uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The classroom plotting compass safety detail makes the option distinct from nearby objectives while still testing the same AQA GCSE Physics learning objective.

Common mistake
motor-effect force direction: avoid motors and generators
Treating motors and generators as interchangeable when answering about motor-effect force direction.
Instead, identify the exact Unit 4.7 idea in Electromagnetism, then explain how it links to a step-up transformer on the National Grid and the objective to define an electromagnet as a solenoid with an iron core.
