Screw Pitch is defined as the axial distance between threads. One complete revolution of the screw will move it into an object the distance of the pitch. The smaller the pitch, the greater the mechanical advantage (ability to do work) achieved.

The mechanical advantage of a screw can be found by dividing the circumference of the screw by the pitch of the screw. In this case, the total mechanical advantage is equal to the circumference of the simple machine to which the effort force is applied divided by the pitch of the screw.
It converts electricial enargy into meachanical enargy
The mechanical advantage of a screw is given as MA = circumference / pitch. The pitch of the screw is the number of threads per centimeter. The circumference is measured at the working portion of the screw, not the head.
A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a shaft. The inclined plane is a simple machine that offers the user a mechanical advantage. The shaft is what transmits a torque to that advantage.
An magnetized screwdriver is an advantage for an electrician because it means the screw will remain attached to the screwdriver meaning it will be easier to unscrew. Hope this helps ;)

There is no advantage whether the handle is 1.2 cm or 10 cm, the screw will still only make one revolution. The reason being is that both the screw driver and the screw become part of the whole. The only increase in the screws revolutions is if the screw driver is geared to make more than one turn of the screw.
Holding the diameter of the screw constant, closely spaced threads (fine pitch) have a higher mechanical advantage than thread which are spaced farther apart (course pitch). Mechanical advantage is the ratio of travel of the applied force to the ratio of the imparted force. Because the screw must rotate more times to insert a given depth, fine pitch has a higher mechanical advantage.
Even the best screws only have a mechanical advantage of twenty percent. Therefore, the screw is not a very efficient lifting device.
