Question 2 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

Which factors affect the strength of an electromagnet? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
the direction of the current flowing through the wire
B
the amount of current flowing through the wire
C
the number of coils in the wire
D
the material of the wire
E
the material of the core

Explanation

An electromagnet becomes stronger when more current flows through its wire and when the wire is wrapped into more coils. The core material also matters: a magnetic material such as iron strengthens the magnetic field. Reversing the current changes which end is north or south, not the electromagnet’s strength, and the wire’s material is not a direct strength factor.
