Solution

When the iron core is removed from a solenoid connected to an ideal DC source, the current flowing through the solenoid will increase. Here's why:

  1. The iron core of a solenoid acts as a magnetic core, which increases the magnetic field and thus the inductance of the solenoid.

  2. When the iron core is removed, the inductance of the solenoid decreases.

  3. According to Ohm's law (V = I*R), if the resistance remains constant and the inductance decreases, the current (I) must increase to maintain the same voltage (V).

  4. Therefore, removing the iron core from the solenoid will result in an increase in the current flowing through the solenoid.

Please note that this is a simplified explanation and actual results may vary based on other factors such as the physical properties of the solenoid and the iron core.
