Does the most powerful electromagnet have more or less turns of a wire?

If all the electromagnets have the same diameter, and all of them have the
same length, and all have the same material in their cores, and all have the
same current through their coils, then the one with the most turns in its coil
is the most powerful one.

How can a electromagnet pick up more metal things?
More than what? - An electromagnet can pick up metal due to its magnetism - assuming it is turned on. If you increase the current, the electromagnet becomes more powerful - but you must be careful not to pass too much current, otherwise the wires might burn through.
What makes an electromagnet more powerful?
more coils around the metal object, thicker wire being coiled, and more electricity going to the wire.
Why are there more thumbtacks attached in electromagnet b as compared to electromagnet a?
I'm having a lot of trouble seeing the picture that goes along with this question in the book, so I'll have to take a wild guess based on no information. My guess is that electromagnet 'b' has more current flowing in its wire coil than electromagnet 'a' has. Another possibility is that the current through both coils is the same, but the coil of electromagnet 'b' is wound with more turns of wire than the coil of electromagnet 'a' is. It's just a guess. To be sure, I really need to see that picture.
Why will an electromagnet be able to pick up more steel cans than a permanent magnet?
An electromagnet is a stronger magnet.
How does the number of turns affect the strength of the electromagnet?
i think it's not on the size but rather on the voltage capacity of the battery.. usually bigger batteries have higher voltages that's why we may relate it to their size, but there are some batteries despite being small in size have higher voltages. if we are comparing two batteries of different sizes but with the same voltages, maybe the question is which one will last and would sustain your magnet longer.. but in terms of power, they are the same
How does the number of wraps of wire affect the strength of an electromagnet?
The more turns of wire in an electromagnet the stronger the magnetic field.
Electromagnet does the number of times you wrap the wire around the nail affect th strength of the nail?
the more times you wrap it the stronger it will become. less wraps less powerful
Does using thicker wire make a electromagnet more powerful?
The wire in a electromagnet is the conductive property transferring power. The thicker the wire the more power transferred to the electromagnet for a exponential amount of power.
What happens to the strength of electromagnet when more turns of wire were used?
it will caught just a little paper clip

How do you make an electromagnet with a rivet and a wire?
Wrap the wire around the rivet as many times as you can, and connect the ends of the wire to a battery.Turning on the electricity turns on the electromagnet. More turns of wire means a stronger magnet.See also related Wikipedia link.
How will you make an electromagnet stronger without changing the electric cell fitted to the circuit?
Adding more turns of wire to the electromagnet will make it stronger without changing the applied voltage.

How can you strengthen an electromagnet?
make an electromagnet stronger by doing these things: * wrapping the coil around an iron core * adding more turns to the coil * increasing the current flowing through the coil.
What makes an electromagnet more powerful?
more coils around the metal object, thicker wire being coiled, and more electricity going to the wire.
