Correct choices (3):
- using a stronger permanent magnet
- increasing current in the electromagnet
- decreasing the distance between the magnets

Why: motor torque comes from the magnetic field strength and the current-induced field. A stronger permanent magnet or a stronger electromagnet (more current) increases the magnetic interaction and torque. Reducing the gap between magnets concentrates the field and increases force. The opposite choices (weaker magnet, less current, increasing the gap) reduce the motor’s strength. Note: increasing current improves torque but can overheat the motor if not limited.
