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

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 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 is most likely to be attracted to magnet a piece of glass a balloon a plastic piece chess or a coolpper wire carrying current?
a copper wire carrying current
A flow of electric current?
lighting
How does a solenoid act as a magnet?
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 happens if you turn off the electric current in the solenoid?
If you turn off the electric current in the solenoid, the solenoid quits pulling its armature.
What is a current-carrying coil of wires with many loops?
solenoid
What is celinoid?
The starter solenoid receives a large electric current from the car battery and a small electric current from the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned on, a small electric current is sent to the starter solenoid. This causes the starter solenoid to close a pair of heavy contacts, thus relaying a large electric current to the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion.
A device formed from an iron core wrapped in current-carrying wire is?
That can be a 'solenoid' or an 'electromagnet'.
What is a core wrapped in a wire that is carying electric current is called?
A solenoid
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.
What rule is used to find out polarity of a current carrying solenoid?
right hand rule is used to find out the polarity of current
What does solenoid do?
work as the current carrying coil-of wire on and acts like magnet when conductor flows
How is earth's magnetic field similar to that of a magnet?

What form around a wire carrying an electric current?
Electromagnetic fields form around any current carrying conductor.
How is earths magnetic field similar to that of a bar magnet?
