Question 7 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

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

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

Explanation

Adding more coils strengthens the magnetic field because the fields produced by each loop combine. So the correct choice is adding more coils to the wire. Straightening the wire removes the coil’s reinforcing effect, and stopping the current eliminates the magnetic field produced by the current.
