To identify the factors that directly affect the magnetic force produced by an electromagnet, let's evaluate the provided options based on the principles of electromagnetism.
**Correct answer:**
- **Item 4: number of turns in the wire, amount of current**
**Explanation:**
1. **Number of turns in the wire:** More turns of wire around the core increase the magnetic field strength since each loop contributes to the overall magnetic field.
2. **Amount of current:** A greater electrical current through the wire increases the magnetic field strength, as the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current.
The other items listed do not accurately encompass the primary factors influencing the strength of an electromagnet:
- **Item 1** (length of core, number of turns in the wire) is partly correct but misses the importance of current.
- **Item 2** (amount of current, length of core) mentions current but doesn't include turns.
- **Item 3** (amount of current, type of force) includes current, but "type of force" is not relevant in this context.
Thus, **Item 4** is the most comprehensive option.
