To determine the strength of the electromagnets, we look at both the current intensity and the number of turns. According to the data provided:

  • Electromagnet P: medium current (20 turns)
  • Electromagnet Q: low current (20 turns)
  • Electromagnet R: low current (15 turns)

Given that a higher current intensity and a higher number of turns both contribute to stronger magnetic forces, we can make the following assessments:

  1. Electromagnet P has a medium current level but the highest number of turns (20) among those with medium or low current.
  2. Electromagnet Q has a low current with 20 turns.
  3. Electromagnet R has a low current with the lowest number of turns (15).

Thus, in order from strongest to weakest magnetic force:

  1. P (medium current, 20 turns)
  2. Q (low current, 20 turns)
  3. R (low current, 15 turns)

The correct order is: P, Q, R.

So the choice is:

P, Q, R
