Question

Does a thicker core make an electromagnet stronger?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The core of an electromagnet serves to stabilize the magnetic field created by the wire. The thicker the core, the more metal there is to amplify the current. Therefore, a thicker core does make an electromagnet stronger. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

My conclusion is that the electromagnet with the thick core is stronger than the electromagnet with the thin core. Wire size did not make a significant difference in electromagnet strength.
