- Increase the number of turns and confirm the field strength increases
- Switch to a soft iron core and confirm the strength is far greater than an air core would give
- Reverse the current direction and confirm the poles at each end have swapped
- Push turns and current to their maximum with an iron core to reach the strongest field this sim allows
- With an air core, confirm even maximum turns and current give a far weaker field than a modest iron-core setup
