A coil of wire with an electric current in it?

A solenoid. An electromagnet is wire wrapped around a core of iron (usually). The wrapped wire itself is called the solenoid.


Which factors affect the magnetic strength of a solenoid which is carrying an electric current?

Factors affecting the magnetic field strength of a solenoid are: - length of the solenoid - diameter of the solenoid - current through the coil around the solenoid - number of turns of the coil of current around the solenoid, usually turns of wire - material in the core


What does solenoid do?

work as the current carrying coil-of wire on and acts like magnet when conductor flows


What is made by passing an electric current through coils of wire?

An electro magnet is created when a current is passed through a coil of wire. This effect is the main operation of how an electrical solenoid operates.


What are solenoid?

The solenoid of an automobile is associated with the starter system and transfers an electric current into the starter motor to set the engine into operation. When the ignition key is turned, current is released from the battery and travels along an insulated wire into the solenoid. The solenoid then releases a small plunger that creates a connection between two internal electrical posts, sends the current down another wire to the starter and forces the starter motor to spin.In general, a solenoid is an electromagnet with a movable metal core. Any coil of wire with current flowing through it will induce a force moving perpendicular to the wire. In the case of a coil wrapped around a cylinder, this force would be directed along the length (through the center) of the cylinder. As such, if you place a movable ferromagnetic (such as iron, nickel, or cobalt) rod through the center of the coil, it will move when current is applied to the electromagnet. This allows a mechanical action to be controlled by the solenoid.

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.


Motors, relays, contactors, and transformers all operate on the principal of?

The solenoid principle. A coil of wire is connected to some sort of electric current.


What is solenoid?

A solenoid is a long cylindrical coil of wire consisting of a large number of turns bound together very tightly. A solenoid is usually used to produce a magnetic field to pull the armature of a relay, causing electrical contacts in the relay to open and/or close switching current flow.
