Question

  1. A. Electromagnetism: classroom plotting compass comparison shows Describe how shaping a wire to form a solenoid increases the strength of the magnetic field created by a current. 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. (energy-transfer error).
  3. C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (field-shape error).
  4. D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (current-change error).

Answer

Electromagnetism: classroom plotting compass comparison shows Describe how shaping a wire to form a solenoid increases the strength of the magnetic field created by a current. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Electromagnetism: classroom plotting compass comparison shows Describe how shaping a wire to form a solenoid increases the strength of the magnetic field created by a current. 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 comparison 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 loudspeaker coil moving in a magnetic field and the objective to describe how shaping a wire to form a solenoid increases the strength of the magnetic field created by a current.
