What is meant by a solenoid? How does a current carrying solenoid behave? Give its main use.
Answers
Explanation:
A current carrying solenoid behaves as an electromagnet. The uniform, magnetic field inside it may magnetise a steel rod permanently. The strong magnetic field produced inside a solenoid can be used to magnetise a piece of magnetic material like soft iron when placed inside the coil.
Answer:
A closely bound cylindrical coil of insulated metallic wire. A current carrying solenoid behaves as an electromagnet. The uniform magnetic field inside it may magnetise a steel rod permanently. This means that a current - carrying solenoid behaves as having a north pole and the South Pole.
Explanation:
a coil of wire usually in cylindrical form that when carrying a current acts like a magnet so that a movable core is drawn into the coil when a current flows and that is used especially as a switch or control for a mechanical device (such as a valve)
