Faraday's Experiments

I am desperately trying to find the answer to this question! In Faraday's experiments, what would be the advantage of using coils with many turns?

Dear Simon,

In using a coil with many turns each coil induces electricity. As it is in coils the coils act as a paralel circuit and the current induced adds up. This makes the effects of inducing a current into the wire more noticeable and easier to measure.
