Question
- A. Electromagnetism: bicycle dynamo efficiency shows Draw the magnetic field pattern for a solenoid, showing the direction of the field. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (comparison error).
- C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (safety error).
- D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (efficiency error).
Answer
Electromagnetism: bicycle dynamo efficiency shows Draw the magnetic field pattern for a solenoid, showing the direction of the field. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Electromagnetism: bicycle dynamo efficiency shows Draw the magnetic field pattern for a solenoid, showing the direction of the field. 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 bicycle dynamo efficiency 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 calculation using primary and secondary coils and the objective to draw the magnetic field pattern for a solenoid, showing the direction of the field.
