Question

  1. A. Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): overhead cable transmission current-change shows (HT only) Rearrange F = B x I x l to calculate magnetic flux density, current or length where appropriate. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (load-effect error).
  3. C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (power-link error).
  4. D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (exam-command error).

Answer

Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): overhead cable transmission current-change shows (HT only) Rearrange F = B x I x l to calculate magnetic flux density, current or length where appropriate. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): overhead cable transmission current-change shows (HT only) Rearrange F = B x I x l to calculate magnetic flux density, current or length where appropriate. 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 overhead cable transmission current-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 bar magnet and plotting compass practical and the objective to rearrange F = B x I x l to calculate magnetic flux density, current or length where appropriate.
