What is the difference between electromagnet and solenoid?
A solenoid is a coiled wire with an electric current running through it, causing a magnetic field. An electromagnet is almost the same thing except it is much stronger than a solenoid (usually) and, unlike a solenoid, has a soft, iron core.
What happens to the strength of an electromagnet when the voltage in the coils of the solenoid is decreased?
The greater the current in the coil, the stronger the magnetic field will grow. Conversely, lowering the battery voltage decreases the current, weakening the field.
What is the main difference between an electromagnet and a solenoid?
An elecromagnet is the entire set of coils which produce a magnetic field when an electrical current is run through the wire. A solenoid is a single coil in the electromagnet.
How an unmagnetized metal core is magnetized when it is inserted in a solenoid to make an electromagnet?
The solenoid will create a magnetic field inside the solenoid, running parallel to the length of the solenoid. This will happen with or without any metal core, when the current is running. If there is an iron metal core the solenoid's magnetic field will rotate the atoms in the iron in such a way as to reinforce the solenoid's field. The iron atoms are themselves tiny magnets oriented randomly. When alligned, the tiny magnets add to the original solenoid field to give a much stronger magnet.
What is the magnetic field of an electromagnet similar to?
a bar magnet...
In an electromagnet the magnetic force increase as increase?
Adding more coils will make the magnetic field stronger. Magnetic field increases.

How does the number of wraps of wire affect the strength of an electromagnet?
The more turns of wire in an electromagnet the stronger the magnetic field.
What effect does increasing the number of coils have on an electromagnet?
Adding more coils will make the magnetic field stronger. Magnetic field increases.

Why is the strength of an electromagnet so much greater than the strength of a solenoid's magnetic field?

When an aluminium ring and a solenoid is placed together why as current increases in the coil the ring repels?
The Solenoid is an electromagnet. The aluminum ring is a conductor that will have a current induced in it by the Solenoid's changing magnetic field. The current in the Aluminum ring will generate a magnetic field of the opposite Polarityof the Solenoid. Therefore they repel one another.
How magnetic field lines look in hollow cylindrical electromagnet?
Inside the hollow cylindrical electromagnet ("solenoid"), the magnetic field lines are straight, parallel to each other, and parallel to the axis of the cylinder. They get more complicated at the ends, but the above statement is good for a solenoid of infinite length, which has no ends, and is a good approximation in the center of a real one.
What does a electromagnet create?
a magnetic field
