Question

Which of the following would increase the strength of an electromagnet? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct statements are ; A and B.

Explanation:

The strength of the magnetic field(B) in an electromagnet can be calculated using formula:

$B=\mu\frac{N}{L}I$

$\mu$ = Relative permeability

N = number of turns

I = Current in the wire of the solenoid

L = length of the solenoid or electromagnetic

As we can see from the formula:

$B\propto N$

$B\propto I$

So, by increasing the turns and increasing current flowing through wire one can increase the strength of an electromagnet.

Hence, the correct statements are ; A and B.
