That's a tricky question. Well, technically it is not measured in volts. The strength of an electromagnet depends on the electrical current which flows through its wires, but not on what drives that current. The current is measured in the amount of charge per unit time that flows through the wires. But when it comes to measuring the magnet, you have to refer to the magnetic field. Without it, there wouldn't be any "magnet." So, logically, to measure the strength of the magnet you must first measure the strength of the magnetic field. It's strength is measured in Volts per meter(V/m). So to measure the strength of the electromagnet you must measure the strength of the magnetic field whose formula is found in the next to last sentence. Hope this helps.

Does the strength of an electromagnet depend on the number of volts passing through the wire or the number of coils of wire wrapped around the iron core?
The strength of an electromagnet depends on: -- The magnitude of the current through the wire. (This depends on the voltage between the ends of the wire.) -- The number of turns of wire in the coil wrapped around the iron core.
How was electricity first measured?
It was measured in volts.
What factors control the strength of an electromagnet?
The strength of an electromagnet is determined by the density of coils surrounding the magnet, and the rate of current passing through those coils.
What can affect the strength of an electromagnet?
The power of the battery controlling it.
Does the length of a wire affect the strength of an electromagnet?
longer= stronger
The strength of an electromagnet is measured using the unit called?
I think it is measured in newtons
What is strength of a power source that is measured in volts?
voltage
The strength of force is measured in?
Electric field strength is measured in Volts per meter, V/m OR equivalently, Newton per Coulomb, N/C.
Do amps volts or watts affect electric magnet strength?
An electromagnet becomes stronger when the current through it increases, i.e. the Amps.
What units are used to measure the strength of an electromagnet in US and Metric systems?
Magentic flux density is measured in tesla (T).
How do you test the lifting strength of an electromagnet Such as how many pounds can a specific magnet lift. How to test magnet strength in the field.?
the magnetic field of a magnet is measured through Gaussmeters.
What is force measured in volts?
'Force' isn't measured in volts. Potential and potential difference are measured in volts.
How many volts are found in infrared waves?
Basically, EM waves are not measured in volts. The intensity of the electric (and the magnetic) field would depend on the strength of the wave.
Does the strength of an electromagnet depend on the number of volts passing through the wire or the number of coils of wire wrapped around the iron core?
The strength of an electromagnet depends on: -- The magnitude of the current through the wire. (This depends on the voltage between the ends of the wire.) -- The number of turns of wire in the coil wrapped around the iron core.
What is the potential difference measured in volts?
'Force' isn't measured in volts. Potential and potential difference are measured in volts.
