Liang is working with an electrical circuit. She replaces a straight electrical wire with a coiled wire.

What is Liang most likely trying to do?

increase the strength of the magnetic field when current flows through the circuit
decrease the strength of the magnetic field when current flows through the circuit
increase the current that flows through the wire when the circuit is active
decrease the current that flows through the wire when the circuit is active

Coiling the wire (forming loops/solenoid) causes the magnetic fields from each turn to add together, producing a much stronger, concentrated magnetic field than a straight wire.
