Question
- A. Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): coil-and-galvanometer induction field-shape shows (HT only) Recall the factors that affect the size of the force on a current-carrying conductor. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (pole-test error).
- C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (load-effect error).
- D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (power-link error).
Answer
Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): coil-and-galvanometer induction field-shape shows (HT only) Recall the factors that affect the size of the force on a current-carrying conductor. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): coil-and-galvanometer induction field-shape shows (HT only) Recall the factors that affect the size of the force on a current-carrying conductor. 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 coil-and-galvanometer induction field-shape 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 step-up transformer on the National Grid and the objective to recall the factors that affect the size of the force on a current-carrying conductor.
