Question
List three ways in which the magnetic field strength of a current-carrying solenoid can be increased?
Solution
Ways to increase the magnetic field strength of a current-carrying solenoid:
1. By increasing the number of turns in the solenoid
2. By increasing the flow of current passing through the solenoid
3. By using a soft iron rod as core in the solenoid
