wooden pencil, string, 3.5-volt battery

iron nail, copper wire, 3.5-volt battery
iron nail, copper wire, 3.5-volt battery

Glass rod, copper wire, 6-volt battery
Glass rod, copper wire, 6-volt battery

Answer 1

To create the strongest electromagnet, you would want to use materials that enhance the magnetic field produced by the electric current. The best combination would include:

• An iron nail (which serves as the core to enhance the magnetic field)
• Copper wire (which will carry the electrical current)
• The 6-volt battery (which provides a higher voltage, leading to a stronger current)

Therefore, the correct choice is:

iron nail, copper wire, 6-volt battery.
