After easily moving some of the smaller pieces of iron, he could not get a larger piece of iron to stay attracted to the electromagnet because it was too heavy. Since he is using an electromagnet, which of the following could he do to strengthen the electromagnet’s magnetic field in order to lift the large piece of iron?
A. decrease the number of coils of wire in the solenoid
B. increase the electric current moving in the solenoid
C. use a smaller iron core
D. He cannot change the electromagnet’s strength.
