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 proportional to the product of these two factors.

1. **Electromagnet W**: Current = medium, Turns = 10
2. **Electromagnet X**: Current = low, Turns = 10
3. **Electromagnet Y**: Current = medium, Turns = 50
4. **Electromagnet Z**: Current = low, Turns = 50

- **Electromagnet W** has medium current and 10 turns.
- **Electromagnet X** has low current and 10 turns.
- **Electromagnet Y** has medium current and 50 turns.
- **Electromagnet Z** has low current and 50 turns.

To compare them:

- **W** = medium * 10
- **X** = low * 10
- **Y** = medium * 50
- **Z** = low * 50

Since "medium" is greater than "low", and "Y" has more turns than "W," **electromagnet Y** will produce the strongest magnetic force due to the combination of medium current and a high number of turns.

Thus, the correct response is:

**electromagnet Y**.
