The video tutorial explains how the strength of an electromagnet is influenced by the number of wire turns and the core material. It provides a step-by-step procedure to create electromagnets with varying turns and cores, and demonstrates their effectiveness in attracting nails. Observations highlight that more wire turns increase magnet strength, and iron cores are more effective than plastic. Safety precautions are advised to prevent overheating. The conclusion emphasizes that electromagnet strength can be adjusted by altering wire turns or core material without changing the power source.
