Answers
If the coils on a solenoid are wound more tightly, the strength of the magnetic field is increased. This is because the magnetic field produced by a solenoid is directly proportional to the number of turns of wire in the coil and the current flowing through it. Therefore, increasing the number of turns of wire in the coil will increase the strength of the magnetic field.
