Electromagnet Y, with a medium current intensity and 50 turns in the wire, will produce the strongest magnetic force.
To determine which electromagnet will produce the strongest magnetic force, we need to consider the factors that affect the strength of an electromagnet: current intensity and the number of turns in the wire.
In the given options:
Electromagnet W has a medium current intensity and 10 turns in the wire.
Electromagnet X has a low current intensity and 10 turns in the wire.
Electromagnet Y has a medium current intensity and 50 turns in the wire.
Electromagnet Z has a low current intensity and 50 turns in the wire.
The strength of an electromagnet increases with an increase in both current intensity and the number of turns in the wire.
Comparing the options, Electromagnet Y has both a higher current intensity (medium) and a larger number of turns in the wire (50) compared to Electromagnets W, X, and Z. Therefore, Electromagnet Y will produce the strongest magnetic force.
So, the correct answer is: electromagnet Y.
To determine which electromagnet will produce the strongest magnetic force, we can use the formula for the magnetic field strength of a solenoid (which is a type of electromagnet):
B = μ₀ * n * I
where B is the magnetic field strength, μ₀ is the permeability of free space (a constant value), n is the number of turns in the wire, and I is the current intensity.
In this case, we have four electromagnets labeled W, X, Y, and Z, with different values for the current intensity and number of turns. Let's calculate the magnetic field strength for each of them and compare the results.
For electromagnet W:
Bₓ = μ₀ * n * I = μ₀ * 10 * medium
For electromagnet X:
Bₓ = μ₀ * n * I = μ₀ * 10 * low
For electromagnet Y:
Bₓ = μ₀ * n * I = μ₀ * 50 * medium
For electromagnet Z:
Bₓ = μ₀ * n * I = μ₀ * 50 * low
It is important to note that the given information does not specify the exact values of "medium" and "low". However, we can still compare the electromagnets based on the patterns we observe.
From the formulas, we can see that the magnetic field strength (Bₓ) is directly proportional to the number of turns (n) and the current intensity (I). Therefore, the electromagnet with the highest number of turns and the highest current intensity will produce the strongest magnetic force.
Based on the given information, electromagnet Y has the highest number of turns (50) among all the options. Therefore, electromagnet Y will produce the strongest magnetic force.
