Question

Give the properties of a solenoid

Answer 1

What are the characteristics of Solenoids and Electromagnets? Use electric current and coiled wires to produce strong magnetic fields. Change when the direction of the current changes. - It is also a strong magnet that can be turned on and off.

Answer 2

Solenoid consists of a length of insulated wire coiled into a cylinder shape. Current in solenoid produces a stronger magnetic field inside thesolenoid than outside. The field lines in this region are parallel and closely spaced showing the field is highly uniform in strength and direction.
