Answer 1

only a magnetic force

Answer 2

Only a magnetic force isn’t an answer

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake. The correct answer is "both electrical and magnetic forces." When the copper wire is connected to a battery, it creates a flow of electrical current, which in turn generates a magnetic field around the iron nail. Therefore, the device can produce both electrical and magnetic forces.
