Question

  1. A. Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): loudspeaker cone test 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.
  2. B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (current-change error).
  3. C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (voltage-change error).
  4. D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (force-link error).

Answer

Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): loudspeaker cone test 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): loudspeaker cone test 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 loudspeaker cone test 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.
