Best Answer

the current from the battery controls the strength of the electromagnet. Adjusting the voltage will also adjust the current as will adjusting the resistance in accordance with Ohm's Law. Current= voltage/resistance

There are several things that can be done to increase the strength of an electromagnet. Increasing the current through the coil and/or adding more turns to the coil will do it. Wrapping the coil more tightly will be good (but there are trade offs.) Making the coil out of less resistive material will be better. So will making a superconducting coil. Increasing the efficiency of the core by using exotic materials will help, too.

The strength of an electromagnet can be controlled by:

-- increasing or decreasing the current (amperes) flowing through the wire coil around the core;

-- increasing or decreasing the number of 'turns' of wire in the coil.

There are three ways in which we can either strengthen or weaken an electromagnet. These include:​

β€’ Increasing or decreasing the current.

β€’ Increasing or decreasing the number of turns/loops of the coil.​

β€’Using a magnetic material as a core inside the coil of the wire​.

by increasing or decreasing the charge going through the coils or moving an iron core in and out of the coils.

To increase the strength, add voltage to a battery, add more coils , or increase the amount of batteries. To decrease just do the opposite.

What happens to the strength of magnetic force in an electromagnet when increasing the current through the coil?

The strength is increased, this is how Roller Coasters operate.


When the radius is increased does the period of rotation increased or decreased?

Generally decreased.


How does the strength of an electromagnet with an iron core compare to an electromagnet that simply has air at its core?

Permeability of the medium, that too, if it is ferro-magnetic material then it gets increased to a larger extent and so the magnetic induction too increases enormously.


What has a wire-wrapped core?

A coil of wire or a coil in the shape of a cylinder is a typical shape for an electromagnet (or a solenoid). The strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet can be increased significantly if the coil is wrapped around an iron core. This configuration may be called an inductor when used as an element of an electrical circuit.

What happens to the strength of an electromagnet when the voltage in the coils of the solenoid is decreased?

The greater the current in the coil, the stronger the magnetic field will grow. Conversely, lowering the battery voltage decreases the current, weakening the field.
