Question

write the steps of making a solenoid​

Answer 1

1. take a insulating wire

2. wind it around a circular object (to get loops)

3. take the wire with loops and attach a power source (battery).

*your solenoid is reddy.

◾ Solenoid produces magnetic fields around it similar to a bar magnet due to electric current.

hope it helps...

Answer 2

You'll need

- Plastic drinking straw

- Electrical tape

- 2m thin insulated wire (size 32 magnet wire works best)

1.5 Volt battery (AAA or AA)

- Sandpaper or a wire stripper

- Steel needle

- (Optional) Steel flat-head nail that could fit inside the straw, and a strong (rare earth) disk-magnet

Create a coil

Cut a 10cm length of straw. Wrap Sellotape around it a little way up from the bottom, sticky side out. Leaving a "tail" about 15cm long, wind 100 tight, neat coils of wire around the taped part of the straw, one layer at a time. Make sure you always coil the wire in the same direction. Leave another 15cm "tail" at the end.

Connect the battery

Tape the battery across the coiled end of the straw to form a "T". Remove some insulation from the ends of the wire using sandpaper or wire strippers.

Connect one end of the wire to the battery with tape, leaving the other end loose. Make sure everything is neat and tidy because the next step is a bit more involved.

Add the plunger and test it

Hold the straw upright a little above the table. Slip the needle (the plunger), point up, into the straw and let it rest on the table, or place the nail head on the magnet and insert into the straw that way. Briefly touch the loose wire to the exposed end of the battery. The needle or nail plunger should shoot up into the straw.
