Use the table of information about four electromagnets to answer the question.

Question

Electromagnet Current Intensity Number of Turns in the Wire
W medium 10
X low 10
Y medium 50
Z low 50

Which electromagnet will produce the strongest magnetic force? (1 point)

electromagnet Z electromagnet Z electromagnet Y electromagnet Y electromagnet W electromagnet W electromagnet X

Answer 1

To determine which electromagnet will produce the strongest magnetic force, we can consider two factors: the current intensity and the number of turns in the wire. The magnetic force produced by an electromagnet is generally proportional to both of these factors.

1. Electromagnet W: Medium current (10) x 10 turns = 100
2. Electromagnet X: Low current (10) x 10 turns = 100
3. Electromagnet Y: Medium current (50) x 50 turns = 2500
4. Electromagnet Z: Low current (50) x 50 turns = 2500

Based on this calculation:

• Electromagnet Y and Z both produce a stronger magnetic force (2500), but Y has a medium current while Z has a low current.
• Thus, electromagnet Y will produce the strongest magnetic force due to its higher number of turns and medium current.

Therefore, the answer is electromagnet Y.
