Solution
Strength of an electromagnet depends on the following factors:
- Number of turns in the coil: By increasing the number of turns in the coil, the strength of the electromagnet can be increased.
- Current flowing through the coil: By increasing the flow of current in the coil, the strength of the electromagnet can be increased.
- Length of air gaps between poles: By reducing the length of air gaps between the poles, the strength of the electromagnet can be increased.

Ansari Sir was demonstrating an experiment in his class with the setup as shown in the figure below.
A magnet is attached to a spring. The magnet can go in and out of the stationary coil. He lifted the Magnet and released it to make it oscillate through the coil.
