Question
- A. Electromagnetism: laboratory bar magnet safety shows Describe how the magnetic effect of a current can be demonstrated. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It says field lines travel from south to north outside the magnet. (power-link error).
- C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (exam-command error).
- D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (direction error).
Answer
Electromagnetism: laboratory bar magnet safety shows Describe how the magnetic effect of a current can be demonstrated. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Electromagnetism: laboratory bar magnet safety shows Describe how the magnetic effect of a current can be demonstrated. 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 laboratory bar magnet 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-down transformer for a low-voltage device and the objective to describe how the magnetic effect of a current can be demonstrated.
