A soft iron bar is inserted inside a current-carrying solenoid. The magnetic field inside the solenoid: a) will decrease b) will increase c) will become zero d) will remain the same
A soft iron bar is inserted inside a current-carrying solenoid. The magnetic field inside the solenoid: a) will decrease b) will increase c) will become zero d) will remain the same

Answer:

The correct option is b) will increase

Explanation:

To boost the magnetic field within a current-carrying solenoid, insert a soft iron bar. The iron bar gains magnetic properties when current flows around it and loses them when current is stopped.
