Maria makes an electromagnet shown in the figure below. The battery has a voltage of 6.0V, and she uses an iron nail. Which of the following would increase the strength of the magnetic field produced?

a
Replacing the iron nail with one made of plastic.
b
Doubling the number of times the wire wraps around the nail.
c
Reversing the direction of the current flow.
d
Changing the battery to a 3.0V battery.

b) Doubling the number of times the wire wraps around the nail would increase the strength of the magnetic field produced by the electromagnet. The more loops of wire there are, the more times the magnetic field is amplified.
