Ellie made an electromagnet with wire, a nail, and a 2.5-volt battery. The electromagnet attracted a paper clip 2 inches away

What action will make the electromagnet weaker?
(1 point)
• She can use a thicker piece of wire.
• She can use a higher voltage battery.
• She can wrap the wire more times around the nail.
• She can decrease the number of coils around the nail.

The action that will make the electromagnet weaker is:

• She can decrease the number of coils around the nail.

Reducing the number of coils will decrease the strength of the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet.
