Question

  1. A. Electromagnetism: split-ring motor kit prediction shows Describe how the strength of the magnetic field around a wire depends on current through the wire. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It says field lines travel from south to north outside the magnet. (coil-core error).
  3. C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (compass-response error).
  4. D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (pole-test error).

Answer

Electromagnetism: split-ring motor kit prediction shows Describe how the strength of the magnetic field around a wire depends on current through the wire. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Electromagnetism: split-ring motor kit prediction shows Describe how the strength of the magnetic field around a wire depends on current through the wire. 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 split-ring motor kit prediction 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 steel core electromagnet demonstration and the objective to describe how the strength of the magnetic field around a wire depends on current through the wire.
