An electromagnet has 500 turns. When a current of 1 A passes through it, it can lift a ferromagnetic object with a force of 15 N. What happens to the force if: a) the number of turns decreases to 200 but that the wire length remains the same? b) the current increases by a factor of 4? c) the current decreases by a factor of 1.5 and the number of turns increases to 750 without changing the wire length?
