Question 1 • Physical Science

Which wire, when current flows through it, would be surrounded by the strongest magnetic field?

Answer
A
Image with description A thin copper colored bar.
B
Image with description A copper colored coil with 2 turns.
C
Image with description A copper colored coil with 5 turns.
D
Image with description A thick copper colored bar.

Explanation

Each turn of a current-carrying coil adds to the magnetic field produced by the other turns. The coil with 5 turns therefore produces a stronger field than the coil with 2 turns, making “a copper colored coil with 5 turns” the best choice.
