Question
- A. Loudspeakers (physics only) (HT only): wind-turbine generator turns-ratio shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe how variations in current in an electrical circuit are converted into pressure variations in sound waves. 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. (voltage-change error).
- C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (force-link error).
- D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (turns-ratio error).
Answer
Loudspeakers (physics only) (HT only): wind-turbine generator turns-ratio shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe how variations in current in an electrical circuit are converted into pressure variations in sound waves. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
Explanation
Loudspeakers (physics only) (HT only): wind-turbine generator turns-ratio shows (Physics only) (HT only) Describe how variations in current in an electrical circuit are converted into pressure variations in sound waves. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Loudspeakers (physics only) (HT only), uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The wind-turbine generator turns-ratio 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 Loudspeakers (physics only) (HT only), then explain how it links to a student comparing motor and generator effects and the objective to describe how variations in current in an electrical circuit are converted into pressure variations in sound waves.
