Question

  1. A. Electromagnetism: iron-filings field pattern comparison shows State that the magnetic field inside a solenoid is strong and uniform. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It swaps motor and generator reasoning. (AC-output error).
  3. C. It describes gravitational force instead of magnetic force. (coil-core error).
  4. D. It claims induced current is supplied by a cell. (compass-response error).

Answer

Electromagnetism: iron-filings field pattern comparison shows State that the magnetic field inside a solenoid is strong and uniform. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Electromagnetism: iron-filings field pattern comparison shows State that the magnetic field inside a solenoid is strong and uniform. 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 iron-filings field pattern comparison 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 an alternator producing an AC output trace and the objective to state that the magnetic field inside a solenoid is strong and uniform.
