Question

  1. A. Electromagnetism: primary-secondary coil comparison prediction shows Describe how the strength of the magnetic field around a wire depends on distance from the wire. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (cause error).
  3. C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (evidence error).
  4. D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (boundary error).

Answer

Electromagnetism: primary-secondary coil comparison prediction shows Describe how the strength of the magnetic field around a wire depends on distance from the wire. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Electromagnetism: primary-secondary coil comparison prediction shows Describe how the strength of the magnetic field around a wire depends on distance from 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 primary-secondary coil comparison 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 current-carrying wire between magnetic poles and the objective to describe how the strength of the magnetic field around a wire depends on distance from the wire.
