An electromagnet capable of magnetizing a metal ball (small, and light) with a distance of 1 inch between them and a pipe dividing them...will that be possible by just using 1.5v batteries?
are there other ways aside from making more coil turns?

ys you could increase the current flowing in the electromagnet to increase the magnetic field. Or you could put an iron core between the coils which will increase it by the permability of the material

Basically,no, only by more turns.
The problem needs more definition, do you want to magnetize the ball so when it removed it stays magnetized or do you want to hold it in place with the magnet? The former will be hard to do with 1.5v, the latter should be possible.

Many windings of twine around an iron middle with the twine ends linked to a DC source. Magnetic polarity is a organic property of comparable, even though any ferrous non-magnet would be attracted by utilising the two pole. No uni-polar magnets have yet been got here upon even though many have regarded for that for the period of nature.

I don't know may be you can get magnetic power if you decrease the radius of the coil.

i learned this dive a hole though the ball and put wire aroud it and it will be able to pick up a car only if u have the ball is 200 inches and has about 5 bondales of wire
