To determine which electromagnet will produce the strongest magnetic force, we need to consider both the current intensity and the number of turns in the wire.

The magnetic force produced by an electromagnet is generally proportional to both the current and the number of turns in the wire. Therefore, let's analyze each electromagnet:

  • Electromagnet W: Medium current, 10 turns
  • Electromagnet X: Low current, 10 turns
  • Electromagnet Y: Medium current, 50 turns
  • Electromagnet Z: Low current, 50 turns

To evaluate their effectiveness, we can combine the current intensity and the number of turns:

  1. Electromagnet W: Medium (1) × 10 = 10
  2. Electromagnet X: Low (0.5) × 10 = 5
  3. Electromagnet Y: Medium (1) × 50 = 50
  4. Electromagnet Z: Low (0.5) × 50 = 25

Based on this analysis, Electromagnet Y will produce the strongest magnetic force with a value of 50.

Therefore, the answer is Electromagnet Y.
