Answer 1

To determine the strength of the electromagnets' magnetic forces, we consider both the current intensity and the number of turns in each electromagnet. Generally, a higher current intensity and a greater number of turns result in a stronger magnetic field.

Let's evaluate each electromagnet:

• Electromagnet P: Current intensity = medium (20 turns)
• Electromagnet Q: Current intensity = low (20 turns)
• Electromagnet R: Current intensity = low (15 turns)

Since we don't have specific values for what "medium" and "low" current intensities are, we interpret "medium" current as being stronger than "low."

1. Electromagnet P has a medium current (which we will consider stronger than a low current) and 20 turns.
2. Electromagnet Q has a low current and 20 turns.
3. Electromagnet R has a low current and only 15 turns.

Based on these parameters, we can rank the electromagnets:

1. P: Strongest (medium current)
2. Q: Second strongest (low current, 20 turns)
3. R: Weakest (low current, 15 turns)

Thus the order from strongest to weakest magnetic force is: P, Q, R.

The correct response is:

P, Q, R.
