A device formed from an iron core wrapped in current-carrying wire is?
That can be a 'solenoid' or an 'electromagnet'.
An electromagnet would have the greatest strength if its wire were wrapped around a core made of what?
iron
Why is iron nail used to make an electromagnet?
because exhibits maximum flux density requires small magnetising field exhibits low hysteresis loop
