Question

  1. A. Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): scrapyard lifting magnet voltage-change shows (HT only) Apply MS 3b and MS 3c when using the motor-effect equation. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (application error).
  3. C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (measurement error).
  4. D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (diagnosis error).

Answer

Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): scrapyard lifting magnet voltage-change shows (HT only) Apply MS 3b and MS 3c when using the motor-effect equation. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): scrapyard lifting magnet voltage-change shows (HT only) Apply MS 3b and MS 3c when using the motor-effect equation. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The scrapyard lifting magnet voltage-change 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 Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only), then explain how it links to a steel core electromagnet demonstration and the objective to apply MS 3b and MS 3c when using the motor-effect equation.
