The voltage supplied to a DC electric motor is reduced, which decreases the current in the coil. Which row in the table describes two modifications that could be made to keep the motor running at its original speed?
| Strength of the magnets | Number of turns on the coil | |
|---|---|---|
| A | decrease | decrease |
| B | decrease | increase |
| C | increase | decrease |
| D | increase | increase |
Row A: decrease the strength of the magnets, decrease the number of turns
Row B: decrease the strength of the magnets, increase the number of turns
Row C: increase the strength of the magnets, decrease the number of turns
Row D: increase the strength of the magnets, increase the number of turns
