Question

What is solenoid explain

Thanks

Answer 1

A SOLENOID IS A COIL OF INSULATED O ENAMULED WIRE WOUND ON A ROD SHAPED FORM MADE OF SOLID IRON, STEEL OR POWDERED IRON. THIS CAN BE USED AS ELECTROMAGNETS

Answer 2

Solenoid is made by looping a metal wire around a rod . The metal wire used should we made from the metal which is a good conductor. It generates the magnetic field when current is passed through it.

A solenoid is a helix whose diameter is comparatively very small than its length.

The Magnetic field are uniform inside the looping area of the solenoid. The field lines don't intersect each other.

When the current is passed through it a nearly uniform magnetic field is set up in the interior and along the axis of solenoid.

B = u. n I

if you want to increase the magnetic field then can we have to

(i) increases the intensity of current flowing through it

(ii). increase the number of turns per unit length.
