Question

Which of the following actions will decrease the strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet?

  1. Using fewer loops of wire per meter in the coil
  2. Decreasing the current in the wire
  3. Removing the iron core
  4. All of the above

hintHint:

  • The magnetic field inside a current carrying solenoid is given by 
  • B=μnI

The correct answer is: All of the above


    • The magnetic field inside a current carrying solenoid is given by 
    • B=μnI
    • where n is the number of turns per unit length in the solenoid
    • I is the current through the wire
    • Hence decreasing current or number of loops per meter would decrease the magnetic field in solenoid
    • The iron core being a magnet itself is magnetized hence it contributes flux to the solenoid's flux, hence the magnetic field strength. Hence removing iron core would also decrease magnetic field strength
    • Correct option is D).
