Question

  1. A. Electromagnetism: scrapyard lifting magnet safety shows State that adding an iron core increases the strength of the magnetic field of a solenoid. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It reverses the role of primary and secondary coils. (application error).
  3. C. It assumes transformers work on direct current without changing flux. (measurement error).
  4. D. It states the turns ratio changes resistance rather than voltage. (diagnosis error).

Answer

Electromagnetism: scrapyard lifting magnet safety shows State that adding an iron core increases the strength of the magnetic field of a solenoid. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Electromagnetism: scrapyard lifting magnet safety shows State that adding an iron core increases the strength of the magnetic field of a solenoid. 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 scrapyard lifting magnet safety 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 moving-coil microphone investigation and the objective to state that adding an iron core increases the strength of the magnetic field of a solenoid.
