Question

  1. A. Electromagnetism: primary-secondary coil comparison safety shows Draw the magnetic field pattern for a straight wire carrying a current. 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 safety shows Draw the magnetic field pattern for a straight wire carrying a current. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Electromagnetism: primary-secondary coil comparison safety shows Draw the magnetic field pattern for a straight wire carrying a current. 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 safety 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 student comparing motor and generator effects and the objective to draw the magnetic field pattern for a straight wire carrying a current.
