If you are talking about electronics it refers to a type of transformer (or inductor) using metallic iron (usually in the form of thin interleaved laminations) core or armature around which the copper wire is wound.
If you are talking about the earth's geology it refers to either the solid inner core or the liquid outer core of the earth (which are actually composed of an alloy of nickel and iron).

Which layer of the earth is made up of solid nickel and iron?
The inner core is an alloy of iron and nickel, and the outer core is mainly liquid iron and nickel.The liquid layer made up of hot liquid iron and nickel that surrounds the inner core.
What is the solid layer of the earth that is made mostly of iron and nickel called?
The inner core.
Which layer is composed of nickel and iron and is a solid?
The outer core of the Earth.
Define inner core?
In general the inner part of the core of something. The core of the Earth is made mostly of iron and some nickel. The outer part of the core is liquid, the inner core is under such high pressure that it is solid.
Is the outer core soild or liquid?
the inner core is a solid. specifically solid nickel/iron alloy. the outer core is a liquid. specifically liquid nickel/iron alloy. both are composed of the same nickel/iron alloy. an alloy very similar to the alloy that makes up metallic meteorites.
Which layer is made of solid iron and nickel?
the inner core
Which layer of the earth is made up of solid nickel and iron?
The inner core is an alloy of iron and nickel, and the outer core is mainly liquid iron and nickel.The liquid layer made up of hot liquid iron and nickel that surrounds the inner core.
What is the superheated solid layer made of nickel and iron?
That would be the inner core.
What is the solid layer of the earth that is made mostly of iron and nickel called?
The inner core.
Which layer is composed of nickel and iron and is a solid?
The outer core of the Earth.
Which layer is made of iron and nickel?
The Earth's core is made of Iron and Nickel.
What is inner core made up of?
The inner core is made out of iron and nickel and it is a solid.
What are the structural layers of the earth?
From outer to inner, the layers of the Earth are the Crust, a thin, rock layer, then the Mantle, the thickest layer of Earth, then the Outer Core, a liquid mixture of Nickel and Iron, and then the Inner Core, a solid ball of Nickel and Iron.
What is a layer of solid metal at the very center of Earth?
The spherical solid core of the earth. It is an alloy composed mostly of nickel and iron.
What are the main zones of the Earth?
(Relatively) Thin outer layer, the Crust. Very thick inner layer, the Mantle. Mostly solid silicate rocks. Liquid inner layer, the Outer Core. Mostly liquid iron and nickel blend. Solid core, the Inner Core. Mostly solid iron-nickel alloy, and estimated to have a temperature of about 5700 Kelvins, or 5430 Celsius.
Which layer has melted iron and nickel?
core
What is core made of?
Outer core - predominately liquid iron and nickel. Inner core - predominately solid iron and nickel.
