Question

  1. A. Electromagnetism: classroom plotting compass prediction shows State that when a current flows through a conducting wire a magnetic field is produced around the wire. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.
  2. B. It treats a permanent magnet as if it only works when current flows. (energy-transfer error).
  3. C. It confuses the magnetic field with an electric field. (field-shape error).
  4. D. It describes energy transfer but misses the force or field interaction. (current-change error).

Answer

Electromagnetism: classroom plotting compass prediction shows State that when a current flows through a conducting wire a magnetic field is produced around the wire. because magnetic effects depend on field direction, current or changing magnetic flux.

Explanation

Electromagnetism: classroom plotting compass prediction shows State that when a current flows through a conducting wire a magnetic field is produced around the wire. 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 classroom plotting compass prediction 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 bar magnet and plotting compass practical and the objective to state that when a current flows through a conducting wire a magnetic field is produced around the wire.
