Question 6 • Physical Science

Assuming a current is flowing, what increases the strength of the magnetic field of a coiled electrical wire?

Answer
A
changing the direction of the current flow
B
adding more coils to the wire
C
straightening the wire
D
stopping the current

Explanation

A coil’s magnetic field becomes stronger when it has more loops carrying current. Each loop contributes to the field, so adding more coils increases the combined magnetic effect. Straightening the wire removes the coil shape, while stopping or reversing the current does not increase the field’s strength.
