An ant can typically lift and carry four times its own weight.

While it is true that ants can lift objects many times their own size (such as a leaf), this is more the result of their small size than of being "stronger" than humans. If you've ever squished an ant, you'll know what I mean; if the ant was stronger than you, it would stop your finger. However, you're likely looking for the answer to whether an ant could beat a similarly-sized human in a contest of strength. Once again, the answer is no: scale the ant's size up, and it crumbles under the weight of its own body. Scale the human down, and you will find that they are also able to lift things many times their size (even moreso than the ant).
depends on the species, one species of ants can have a colony that has a hundred or so ants in it that would weigh less than 1 lb. Other species have over 1 million ants in the colony so it would weigh thousands of pounds.
Many insects can lift objects of huge weight, proportionate to their own size. An ant, for example, can lift 5 times its own body weight.
An ant can lift 10, 20, or even 50 times its own weight.

Because the ant you saw was actually the chuck Norris of the ant world. You're welcome.
It will depend on the voltage of the electromagnet. If it does not have enough voltage, then it cannot life 3kg.
An ant can lift and carry objects that weigh several times their own weight. A wild cat cannot do that.

Ants are the strongest animals (if you consider them to be animals) because they can lift up 20 to 50 times their weight. If a 200 pound human could do the same, he/she would be able to lift up 2000 to 10,000 pounds. Now, an ant wouldn't necessarily win a battle against another animal, but we're talking about its relative size.
