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.

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step 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!
