Simple phenomena of magnetism — practice question

The diagram illustrates the magnetic field surrounding a solenoid through which an electric current flows. What effect does increasing the current have on the magnetic field strength and on the spacing between the field lines?

  • Astrength: decreases, distance between field lines: decreases
  • Bstrength: decreases, distance between field lines: increases
  • Cstrength: increases, distance between field lines: decreases
  • Dstrength: increases, distance between field lines: increases
