Question
- A. Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): relay switch circuit voltage-change shows (HT only) Recognise that the motor-effect equation is given on the Physics equation sheet. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (field-shape error).
- C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (current-change error).
- D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (voltage-change error).
Answer
Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): relay switch circuit voltage-change shows (HT only) Recognise that the motor-effect equation is given on the Physics equation sheet. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): relay switch circuit voltage-change shows (HT only) Recognise that the motor-effect equation is given on the Physics equation sheet. 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 relay switch circuit voltage-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 current-carrying wire between magnetic poles and the objective to recognise that the motor-effect equation is given on the Physics equation sheet.
