Answer 1

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 of an electromagnet is generally influenced by these two factors; higher current intensity and more turns typically result in a stronger magnetic field.

Let's analyze the options:

- **Electromagnet W**: medium current (10 turns)
- **Electromagnet X**: low current (10 turns)
- **Electromagnet Y**: medium current (50 turns)
- **Electromagnet Z**: low current (50 turns)

1. **Electromagnet W**: It has a medium current but fewer turns (10).
2. **Electromagnet X**: It has a low current and also fewer turns (10).
3. **Electromagnet Y**: It has a medium current and a higher number of turns (50), which likely gives it a strong magnetic force due to both medium current and higher turns.
4. **Electromagnet Z**: It has a low current with a high number of turns (50), but the low current may limit its effectiveness compared to Electromagnet Y.

Given this information, **Electromagnet Y** will produce the strongest magnetic force because it has a medium current (which is more effective than low current) and a significantly higher number of turns (50 compared to 10).

Thus, the answer is:

**electromagnet Y**
