Factors affecting the magnetic field strength of a solenoid are: - length of the solenoid
- diameter of the solenoid
- current through the coil around the solenoid
- number of turns of the coil of current around the solenoid, usually turns of wire
- material in the core

How does electricity cause magnetism?
Changing the amount of magnetic field (known as "flux") through a conductor exerts a force on charged particles (electrons in the wire). A change in magnetic field strength in a region of space induces an electric field which circles the magnetic field lines, surprisingly whether or not there is a conductor there or not. It turns out that magnetism and electricity are inherently linked, they are kind of manifestations of the same thing. If "something" has the property of electric charge, it creates an electric field. If that something moves, it creates a magnetic field.
What is the unit to measure the strength of a magnetic field?
We can say magnetic field strength is a measure of magnetic strength of a magnet.. like electric field density in electrostatics.... ex consider a current carrying wire which produce a magnetic field in radial direction... by using ampere law.. we can easily find magnetic field strength at a point (r distance from wire)... H=I/(2*3.14*r).. its like finding a electric field intensity by Guass law.......The magnetic field ranges from less than 30 micro-teslas (0.3 gauss) to 60 microteslas (0.6 gauss) The strength varies daily usually about 25 nanoteslas (nT) with variations every second of 1 nTAnswerMagnetic field strength (symbol H) is defined as the magnetomotive force per unit length of a magnetic circuit, and is expressed in amperes per metre (A/m). The original answer appears to be defining flux density(expressed in teslas), not magnetic field strength.
What is the difference between magnatic field strength and pole strength?
Pole strength is ability of poles to produce lines of force where is field strength is force which a magnetic poles experiences when places in magnetic field.
What determines the strength of a magnetic field?
factors on which magnetic field a bar magnet depends :- 1. pole strength of the magnet 2. medium in which the bar magnet is present(since the permittivity changes) factors on which external magnetic field(B) of a current carrying coil depends:- 1. the amount of current flowing through the conductor 2. the perpendicular distance of the point from the conductor. 3. medium in which the conductor is present(since the permittivity changes)
How do you calculate magnetic flux density?
'Magnetic field strength' (symbol: H) is defined as 'the magnetomotive force, per unit length, of a magnetic circuit'. In SI, it is expressed in amperes per metre (A/m), which is often spoken as "'ampere turns' per metre".It's equation is: H = (IN) / lwhere:H = magnetic field strength (ampere per metre)I = current flowing through coil (amperes)N = number of turns in coill = length of magnetic circuit
How the magnetic field around a solenoid can be strengthened?
The strength of the magnetic field produced by a current carrying solenoid depends on:The number of turns - larger the number of turns, greater is the magnetism produced.The strength of the current - when current increases, magnetism also increases.Nature of 'core-material' used in making the solenoid - if we use soft-iron as a core for the solenoid, then it produces the strongest magnetism.
Will increasing the number of loops in a solenoid cause the strength of its magnetic field to decrease?
No; increasing the number of loops in a solenoid will cause the strength of its magnetic field to increase.
The strength of electric and magnetic fields remains constant as you move away from the source of the electric and magnetic fields?
yes
How do you make electricity using magnets?
Any wire carrying an electric current has a small magnetic field shaped like a corkscrew around it. Winding many coils of wire on a bobbin or tube will greatly increase the magnetic field and this is called a solenoid. If you connect the two ends of the solenoid to a battery it becomes an electromagnet. Placing a soft iron rod inside the bobbin will concentrate the magnetic field making it possible to pick up small iron and steel objects. Break the electric current in the coil and the magnetic field disappears leaving only a small remnant field in the steel rod. The strength of the electromagnet depends on the number of coils in the solenoid and the size of the current flowing through it.
Why is the strength of an electromagnet so much greater than the strength of a solenoid's magnetic field?

Inductive ammeters work because of what principle?
Inductive Ammeters do not make physical contact with the circuit, but measure the strength of the magnetic field surrounding the wire carrying the current and measures the strength of the magnetic field that surrounds any conductor carrying a current.This means that the meter probe surrounds the wire(s) carrying the current and measures the strength of the magnetic field that surrounds any conductor carrying a current.
What is the difference between electromagnet and solenoid?
A solenoid is a coiled wire with an electric current running through it, causing a magnetic field. An electromagnet is almost the same thing except it is much stronger than a solenoid (usually) and, unlike a solenoid, has a soft, iron core.
Does an electric current produces a magnetic field?
yes*edit: don't confuse moving with changing. A change in magnetic field strength/direction will induce an electric current.

How can the strength of electric magnetic fields be strengthened?
More electricity to, and/or more windings on, the coil.
How do you calculate the magnetic field strength in an injector cyclotron?
- Magnetic field strength is the intensity of a magnetic field at a given location. Historically, a distinction is made between magnetic field strength H, measured in ampere/meter, and magnetic flux density B, measured in tesla. Magnetic field strength is defined as the mechanical force (newton) on a wire of unit length (m) with unit electric current(A). The unit of the magnetic field, therefore, is newton/ (ampere x meter), which is called tesla. The magnetic field may be visualized by magnetic field lines. The field strength then corresponds to the density of the field lines. The total number of magnetic field lines penetrating an area is called magnetic flux. The unit of the magnetic flux is tesla x m2 = weber. The older units for the magnetic flux, maxwell = 10-8 weber, and for the magnetic flux density, gauss = maxwell / cm2 = 10-4 tesla, are not to be used any more. Magnetic flux density diminishes with increasing distance from a straight current-carrying wire or a straight line connecting a pair of magnetic poles around which the magnetic field is stable. At a given location in the vicinity of a current-carrying wire, the magnetic flux density is directly proportional to the current in amperes. If a ferromagnetic object such as a piece of iron is brought into a magnetic field, the "magnetic force" exerted on that object is directly proportional to the gradient of the magnetic field strength where the object is located. ------------------------------------------------------------------- B=μH Magnetic field in Solenoid B=μnI where n is turns/m So H=nI --------------------------------------------
Does a moving magnetic field produce an electric current?
yes*edit: don't confuse moving with changing. A change in magnetic field strength/direction will induce an electric current.
