Answer:

increasing the distances between the turns on the coil

Step-by-step explanation:


B = (\mu N I)/(L) where B i the magnetic field strength,
\mu is the permeability of the core which is very large for iron compared with that of air, N is the number of turns, I is the current and L is the length.

Keeping all the other parameters constant,

if N is increased then B is increased

if I is increased then B is increased

if the distance between coils is increased then L has increased and B had decreased

if iron is added to the core
\mu has increased so B has increased
