Question
- A. Electric motors (HT only): wind-turbine generator force-link shows (HT only) Link opposite forces on the sides of a current-carrying coil to the turning effect in an electric motor. 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. (voltage-change error).
- C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (force-link error).
- D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (turns-ratio error).
Answer
Electric motors (HT only): wind-turbine generator force-link shows (HT only) Link opposite forces on the sides of a current-carrying coil to the turning effect in an electric motor. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Electric motors (HT only): wind-turbine generator force-link shows (HT only) Link opposite forces on the sides of a current-carrying coil to the turning effect in an electric motor. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Electric motors (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The wind-turbine generator force-link 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 Electric motors (HT only), then explain how it links to a moving-coil microphone investigation and the objective to link opposite forces on the sides of a current-carrying coil to the turning effect in an electric motor.
