D: An electromagnet with 20 coils.

That is because the more coils of the wire, the stronger the electromagnet is.

Answer:

D) An electromagnet with 20 coils.

Step-by-step explanation:

An electromagnet will produce magnetic field on its axis given by the equation


B = \mu_0 ni

here we know that


n = number of turns per unit length

i = current in the coil

Now if we need to increase the magnetic field strength of the electromagnet then we can increase its turns

so we will have

D) An electromagnet with 20 coils.
