Question
- A. Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): temporary induced magnet energy-transfer shows (HT only) State that the magnet producing the field and the conductor exert a force on each other. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It says field lines travel from south to north outside the magnet. (evidence error).
- C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (boundary error).
- D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (application error).
Answer
Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): temporary induced magnet energy-transfer shows (HT only) State that the magnet producing the field and the conductor exert a force on each other. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Fleming's left-hand rule (HT only): temporary induced magnet energy-transfer shows (HT only) State that the magnet producing the field and the conductor exert a force on each other. 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 temporary induced magnet energy-transfer 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 dynamo producing a DC output trace and the objective to state that the magnet producing the field and the conductor exert a force on each other.
