The student should use a battery with less energy.
The student should use a smaller core in the magnet.
The student should wrap the coil fewer times around the nail.
The student should move the magnet closer to the paper clip.

The student should move the magnet closer to the paper clip.

Thanks

You're welcome!

To attract paper clip Y to the electromagnet, the student should try moving the magnet closer to the paper clip. The strength of an electromagnet's magnetic field is directly influenced by the distance between the magnet and the object it is attracting. By bringing the magnet closer to paper clip Y, the magnetic field will have a stronger effect on the paper clip, leading to attraction.
