Homework Statement


We did a lab where we measured the magnetic field strength of a wire coil versus the coil density of the wire coil, keeping current constant. We determined the relationship of B (magnetic field strength) versus n (coil density) to be direct. I need to explain why this is true physically (as in, beyond the formulas why does this actually happen), and I have no idea why.


Homework Equations


β=μIn


The Attempt at a Solution


I have no idea at all and need help!

Just like electric fields, magnetic fields from different sources add up. So two loops "produce" two times what one loop "produces".
