A solenoid is a cylindrical coil of wire that acts like a magnet when carrying an electrical current. Solenoids are used in railroads and car starters, acting as an electric switch. They also control water flow in washing machines and dishwashers. Also a TV, and a doorbell, by pushing the coil behind the button to sound the doorbell.
