Question 4 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

Juan makes an adjustment to an electromagnet that causes the electromagnet to lose some of its strength. What did Juan most likely do?

Answer
A
He reduced the number of loops in the wire.
B
He increased the number of loops in the wire.
C
He reduced the length of the wire.
D
He increased the length of the wire.

Explanation

An electromagnet becomes stronger when the coil has more loops carrying current. Reducing the number of loops weakens the magnetic field, so Juan most likely reduced the number of loops in the wire.
