A high school student in #Korea reportedly received 0 points on a 20-point question in an #electronics exam. This matter might even lead to a #legal dispute.

There is a debate over whether a #solenoid should be wound with wire "plentifully" or "densely."

The student wrote that it should be wound "densely," but the teacher argued it should be wound "plentifully" and marked the student's answer as incorrect.

Is there anyone knowledgeable about this issue? Which expression is more accurate?
