Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
You can make an electromagnet stronger by:using ____ coils of wire
A
bigger
B
smaller
C
more
D
less
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Increase the number of coil turns. Increase the current flowing through the coil. Wrap the coil tightly around the iron piece. Increase the current or voltage.

Detailed explanation-2: -An electromagnet is stronger if there are more turns in the coil of wire or there is more current flowing through it. A bigger bar or one made of material that is easier to magnetize also increases an electromagnet’s strength.

Detailed explanation-3: -Doubling the number of coils doubles the mmf (ampere-turns): “By maintaining the same current and increasing the number of loops or turns of the coil, the strength of the magnetic field increases because each loop or turn of the coil sets up its own magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two methods by which we can increase strength of magnetic field are: 1) By increasing the number of turns of wire in the coil. 2) By increasing the current flowing the coil.
