A solenoid is connected to a battery so that a steady current flows through it. If an iron core is inserted into the solenoid, will the current increase or decrease? Explain.

Answers (1)

The iron core, when inserted in the coil, will increase the magnetic field due to the magnetization of the iron bar. So according to Lenz’s law, this increase in the magnetic field should be opposed, therefore, the current will decrease.
