What is meant by solenoid? How does a current carrying solenoid behave? Give its main use.
Kindly dont spam.. Need good answers.. Its urgent guys..

solenoid is hollow tube like structure which behaves like magnet when current passes.A closely bound cylindrical coil of insulated metallic wire. A current carrying solenoid behaves as an electromagnet. ... 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 coil with many circular close turns of insulated copper wire (like a cylinder as shown above) is a solenoid. Solenoid is a coil wire in cylindrical form having insulated copper wire. It carry current acts like a magnet so that a movable core is drawn into the coil when a current flows. One end of such a solenoid behaves like the north pole and the other as a south pole. Therefore magnetic field due to current in the solenoid is similar to a bar magnet. A solenoid behaves like a bar magnet when a current is passed through it. It's one end of behaves as Magnetic North Pole and the other end as Magnetic South Pole.
- It is used to form a temporary magnet called electromagnet as well as permanent magnet.
