An electromagnet is made by winding insulated wire around an iron core. Which explains the effect of the iron core?
Iron conducts electricity well, so the current in the coil is larger
Iron is easily magnetised, so the magnetic field produced is stronger
Iron conducts electricity well, so the magnetic field produced is stronger
Iron is easily magnetised, so the current needed in the coil is larger
