Introduction
The term magnet is defined as, an object made of a ferromagnetic material such as iron, with domains that are aligned one way. Thus, it has poles and a magnetic field around it. Magnets or electromagnets whose effect can be switched on and off are used in many electric machines. When any current flows, it produces a magnetic field.
Were it not for the Earth's magnetic field, all life on the planet would be …

…that if the number of coils is doubled, then the mass of the panel pins lifted, will also double, i.e.
5 coils will enable a lift of X grams of panel pins;
10 coils will enable a lift of 2X grams of panel pins; and
15 coils will enable a lift of 3X grams of panel pins.
Hence, an iron bar with a solenoid of N coils will lift a mass of NX grams of panel pins.
