1. Based on the hint provided, it is the Coils of Wire carrying a current that are behaving like a magnet. This can be determined by observing the behavior of the magnetic field using a compass.

2. Changing the voltage of the battery from 10V to 2V reduces the strength of the magnetic field. Lower voltage results in a weaker current flowing through the coils of wire, which in turn generates a weaker magnetic field.
