When current is passed through a solenoid coil, magnetic field produced due to each turn of solenoid coil is in the same direction. As a result the resultant magnetic field is very strong and uniform. The field lines inside the solenoid are in the form of parallel straight lines along the axis of solenoid. Thus, the solenoid behaves like a bar magnet.

What shape of a permanent magnet corresponds to the magnetic field formed by a solenoid?
The magnetic field produced by electric current in a solenoid coil is similar to that of a bar magnet.
What does the magnetic field in a solenoid resemble?
a bar magnet
What magnets act like several combined bar magnets?
A "Neodymium magnet or Super Magnet".
The space in which the force of a magnet can act is called a?
magnetic field
Pattern of field lines due to solenoid carrying electric current?
From my text book: You'll see that inside a solenoid the magnetic field is etremely strong, this can be used to magnetise objects. The field around it is exactly the same as the field around a bar magnet. Concentrated inside the solenoid and gradually getting more spaced out the further away
How is a solenoid similar to a magnet?
A solenoid acts like a magnet when an electrical current is sent through the coil. A permanent magnet is magnetic all the time. Therefore, they are similar when both act like a magnet, but not when the solenoid is turned off.
What are the similarities and differences between a solenoid and a bar magnet?
DIFFERENCE: a bar magnet is a permanent magnet where as solenoid is a electromagnet so it acts as a magnet only when electricity is passed through it. SIMILARITIES: they both act as magnets and both have a similar magnetic field.
How a solenoid may be used to demagnatise a bar magnet?
Heating a bar magnet with solenoid demagnatise it.
What if a current passes through solenoid If yes then what happens in the whole process?
Yes. DC can pass through. As it passes through then solenoid would act as if a bar magnet.
What does a magnet field in a solenoid resemble?
a bar magnet

Where you get magnet?
To get a magnet.Magnets are available in nature.You can make a magnet by tying a piece of iron to a strong magnet for some time.You can also get a magnet by making an Electo-magnet or solenoid.
Is a solenoid a coil of wire that has a current?
YESA solenoid is a coil of wire, which turns into a magnet when a?current?flows through
How is earth's magnetic field similar to that of a magnet?
electric current in a solenoid coil
How is solenoid a magnet?
A Solenoid is an electro-magnet. It has coils of wire, usually copper. When an electric field is applied to the coils of wire, an magnetic field is generated. This magnetic field attracts a steel or iron segment on the switch and activates the switch.
