Question

  1. A. Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): laboratory bar magnet 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 says field lines travel from south to north outside the magnet. (power-link error).
  3. C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (exam-command error).
  4. D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (direction error).

Answer

Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): laboratory bar magnet 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): laboratory bar magnet 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 laboratory bar magnet 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.
