Question

Which solenoid would be likely to pick up more paperclips? Use what you have learned about electromagnets and solenoids to explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Solenoid having iron core.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solenoid having iron core will pick up more paperclips because this solenoid will produce more electromagnetism. Solenoid having no iron core produces lower magnetic field as compared to solenoid having iron core. The presence of iron in the core of solenoid increases magnetic field which leads to increase in electromagnetism so that's why the solenoid with iron core attract more paperclips as compared to no iron core solenoid.
