Question

  1. A. Electromagnetism: coil-and-galvanometer induction 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 reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (pole-test error).
  3. C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (load-effect error).
  4. D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (power-link error).

Answer

Electromagnetism: coil-and-galvanometer induction 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: coil-and-galvanometer induction 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 coil-and-galvanometer induction 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.
