Question
- A. Electromagnetism: National Grid substation 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 says field lines travel from south to north outside the magnet. (efficiency error).
- C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (energy-transfer error).
- D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (field-shape error).
Answer
Electromagnetism: National Grid substation 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: National Grid substation 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 National Grid substation 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.
