I'm having a little bit of trouble with electromagnets. I know that a magnetic field is induced by current flowing through a conductor, but what role does voltage play? Does it have an effect on the force of said electromagnet?

I am trying to build a somewhat powerful electromagnet for a project. LetsLet's say I wanted 100N of force. Should I increase my I or my V to get that force?

Thanks!
