To determine which electromagnet will produce the strongest magnetic force, we consider both the current intensity and the number of turns in the wire. The magnetic force generated by an electromagnet is generally proportional to the product of the current intensity and the number of turns.

Let's evaluate each electromagnet:

  • Electromagnet W: Current intensity = medium, Number of turns = 10
  • Electromagnet X: Current intensity = low, Number of turns = 10
  • Electromagnet Y: Current intensity = medium, Number of turns = 50
  • Electromagnet Z: Current intensity = low, Number of turns = 50

"Medium" intensity is greater than "low" intensity, and since electromagnet Y has both a medium current and the highest number of turns (50), it is likely to produce the strongest magnetic force.

Comparing the factors:

  • Electromagnet W: medium * 10
  • Electromagnet X: low * 10
  • Electromagnet Y: medium * 50
  • Electromagnet Z: low * 50

Among these, Electromagnet Y (medium current and 50 turns) will produce the strongest magnetic force.

Therefore, the correct response is: electromagnet Y
