The field of a solenoid-based electromagnet is $B=\mu_r\mu_0nI$ (Section 1.15), which identifies every controlling factor directly:

Number of turns per unit length $n$ : $B\propto n$ , so packing more turns into the same length increases the field (more current loops contributing).

Current $I$ : $B\propto I$ , so a larger current increases the field, limited in practice by resistive heating of the wire and by the core approaching saturation. …
