Question
- A. Electric motors (HT only): primary-secondary coil comparison force-link shows (HT only) Use motor-effect reasoning to explain the operation of a simple electric motor. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
- B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (cause error).
- C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (evidence error).
- D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (boundary error).
Answer
Electric motors (HT only): primary-secondary coil comparison force-link shows (HT only) Use motor-effect reasoning to explain the operation of a simple electric motor. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Electric motors (HT only): primary-secondary coil comparison force-link shows (HT only) Use motor-effect reasoning to explain the operation of a simple electric motor. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Electric motors (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The primary-secondary coil comparison force-link 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 Electric motors (HT only), then explain how it links to a step-up transformer on the National Grid and the objective to use motor-effect reasoning to explain the operation of a simple electric motor.
