Question

  1. A. Electromagnetism: model railway motor energy-transfer shows (Physics only) Interpret diagrams of electromagnetic devices in order to explain how they work. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It says field lines travel from south to north outside the magnet. (diagnosis error).
  3. C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (prediction error).
  4. D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (comparison error).

Answer

Electromagnetism: model railway motor energy-transfer shows (Physics only) Interpret diagrams of electromagnetic devices in order to explain how they work. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Electromagnetism: model railway motor energy-transfer shows (Physics only) Interpret diagrams of electromagnetic devices in order to explain how they work. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux. It is correct because it anchors the response to Electromagnetism, uses the relevant magnetic field, coil, current or induction evidence, and avoids mixing motor, generator and transformer ideas. The model railway motor 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 Electromagnetism, then explain how it links to a current-carrying wire between magnetic poles and the objective to interpret diagrams of electromagnetic devices in order to explain how they work.
