Question 3 • Lollar_8Science_Q1_25-26_RC

How does adding an iron bar to a solenoid affect the magnetic field of the electromagnet?

Answer
A
It changes the magnetic field to a current.
B
It changes the magnetic field’s direction.
C
It increases the magnetic field’s strength.
D
It decreases the magnetic field’s strength.

Explanation

An iron bar inside a solenoid becomes magnetized and provides an easier path for the magnetic field. This concentrates and strengthens the electromagnet’s field; it does not turn the field into a current or simply reverse its direction. Therefore, the correct choice is “It increases the magnetic field’s strength.”
