Question
State two ways by which the magnetic field due to a current carrying solenoid can be made stronger.

Solution
The magnetic field due to a solenoid can be made stronger by using:
- By increasing the number of turns of winding in the solenoid.
- By increasing the current through the solenoid.
- By placing a soft iron core along the axis of solenoid.
