In the same instance you can have hundreds of amps and a neglible
magnetic field. Take an air cored coil, say it generated a field
value of 0.1 for the sake of simplicity , say 1 Amp flowing then add
a metal core say pig iron, now we have a field of say 0.5 but still 1
amp flowing, change the core to super permalloy now we might have a
field of 1 but still only 1 amp flowing, move to nano crystaline etc,
The point is, the core material , the number of windings, the guage
of wire,the coil dimensions and the voltage applied hence current
flowing, all these factors dictate the field strength, the current
flowing is way low down in priority of field strength, the core
material and number of windings being the factors which dictate the
most.
