Question
- A. Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): phone speaker coil current-change shows (HT only) Recall and apply the equation F = B x I x l for a conductor at right angles to a magnetic field. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It treats a permanent magnet as if it only works when current flows. (prediction error).
- C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (comparison error).
- D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (safety error).
Answer
Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): phone speaker coil current-change shows (HT only) Recall and apply the equation F = B x I x l for a conductor at right angles to a magnetic field. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): phone speaker coil current-change shows (HT only) Recall and apply the equation F = B x I x l for a conductor at right angles to a magnetic field. 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 phone speaker coil 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 student comparing motor and generator effects and the objective to recall and apply the equation F = B x I x l for a conductor at right angles to a magnetic field.
