Charlotte built a simple electromagnet, shown below. She found that the electromagnet picked up the entire pile of paper clips the instant she turned it on. Which of the following might allow Charlotte's electromagnet to pick up a single paper clip at a time? (There are 2)

• increasing the number of loops in the electromagnet's coil

• removing the iron nail from the core of the electromagnet

• increasing the number of batteries supplying voltage to the electromagnet

• increasing the distance between the electromagnet and the paper clips

George holds a magnet above a paper clip. The paper clip moves toward the magnet and sticks to it before the magnet actually touches it. A magnet is surrounded by (a)   , which applies a push or a pull to an object without actually touching it.

• an electric current

• a simple machine

• a generator

• a magnetic field
