Question
- A. Electromagnetism: model railway motor 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.
- B. It says field lines travel from south to north outside the magnet. (diagnosis error).
- C. It makes AC and DC equivalent. (prediction error).
- D. It ignores relative motion or changing magnetic flux. (comparison error).
Answer
Electromagnetism: model railway motor 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: model railway motor 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 model railway motor safety detail makes the option distinct from nearby objectives while still testing the same AQA GCSE Physics learning objective. V10 boundary check fluxcue320a coilcue320b fieldcue320c polecue320d gridcue320e motorcue320f generatorcue320g transformercue320h compasscue320i currentcue320j voltagecue320k forcecue320l: in the motor effect, the force is perpendicular to the current and magnetic field; in a generator, relative motion or a changing magnetic field induces a potential difference or induced current; outside a magnet, magnetic field lines go from north to south; AC alternating current changes direction, while DC direct current flows in one direction and needs a commutator in a DC generator context.
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.
