Question

  1. A. Electric motors (HT only): step-down charger transformer 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.
  2. B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (turns-ratio error).
  3. C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (AC-output error).
  4. D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (coil-core error).

Answer

Electric motors (HT only): step-down charger transformer 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): step-down charger transformer 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 step-down charger transformer 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.
