To see why an MRI utilizes iron to increase the magnetic field created by a coil, calculate the current needed in a 400 loop-per-meter circular coil 0.660 m in radius to create a 1.20 T field (typical of an MRI instrument) at its center with no iron insert. g

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.
