A student wraps copper wire around an iron nail. Then she connects the ends of the wire to a battery, making an electromagnet. She notices that if she wraps more coils of wire around the bolt, then her electromagnet can pick up more paper clips. What conclusion can she draw?(1 point)

Question

A student wraps copper wire around an iron nail. Then she connects the ends of the wire to a battery, making an electromagnet. She notices that if she wraps more coils of wire around the bolt, then her electromagnet can pick up more paper clips. What conclusion can she draw?(1 point)
Responses

More coils of wire increases the mass of the battery
More coils of wire increases the mass of the battery

More coils of wire increases the length of the nail
More coils of wire increases the length of the nail

More coils of wire increases the strength of the electromagnet
More coils of wire increases the strength of the electromagnet

More coils of wire increases the density of the copper wire

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct conclusion the student can draw is:

More coils of wire increases the strength of the electromagnet.

Adding more coils of wire enhances the magnetic field generated by the current, leading to a stronger electromagnet that can pick up more objects like paper clips.
