Question
The strength of the magnetic field between the poles of an electromagnet would be unchanged if:
Solution
direction of current in electromagnet winding were reversed
In other options, the strength of magnetic field can change because the strength of magnetic field produced by a solenoid depends on number of turns, current and material of the core of the electromagnet.
