No, A solenoid is basically a switch that uses a low voltage signal wire (5v) to make a higher voltage cable connection (12v) to operate an electric motor which uses magnets to transform electricity in to twisting force. IE turning the ignition key moves the ign. sw. sending a signal to the starter sol. that puts full power to the starter motor which engages the flywheel, rotating the engine to begin the running process.

Is the motor and the engine the same thing on a car?

Motors A motor is a generic term for an engine. So yes they are the same thing. IMO, you have an electric motor or a gasoline engine.


How does an electric motor compare to a petrol motor?

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 is another example of a parallel circuit?

Another example is a switch, bulb, solenoid, and a motor. When the switch is turned on current flows through the bulb, solenoid and motor simultaneously. This causes the bulb to light, the solenoid to the activated and the motors spindle to rotate, all at the same time.

What does a electrical solenoid on a winch do?

The same as in a car. The heavy current required by a winch motor can easily burn out a small switch .By operating a solenoid first you get a heavy duty switch operated remotely and closer to the winch terminals thus lowering voltage drops in the wiring.

A shift solenoidis a shift control solenoid or control solenoid the same thing?

A shift solenoid and a control solenoid are not exactly the same, although they can be related. A shift solenoid specifically controls the shifting of gears in an automatic transmission, enabling smooth gear transitions. In contrast, a control solenoid can refer to a broader category of solenoids used to regulate various functions in different systems, including but not limited to transmission control.
