Question

  1. A. Electromagnetism: moving-wire motor effect comparison shows Describe the magnetic field around a solenoid as having a similar shape to that of a bar magnet. 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. (exam-command error).
  3. C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (direction error).
  4. D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (cause error).

Answer

Electromagnetism: moving-wire motor effect comparison shows Describe the magnetic field around a solenoid as having a similar shape to that of a bar magnet. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Electromagnetism: moving-wire motor effect comparison shows Describe the magnetic field around a solenoid as having a similar shape to that of a bar magnet. 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 moving-wire motor effect 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 dynamo producing a DC output trace and the objective to describe the magnetic field around a solenoid as having a similar shape to that of a bar magnet.
