If you turn off the electric current in the solenoid, the solenoid quits pulling its armature.

Do all currents provide the same amount of energy?

Of course not! There is no direct relationship between electric current and electric energy. They aren't even measured in the same units. Also in most cases small electric currents provide less electric energy that very large electric currents. If all electric currents provided the same electric energy then the electric current from a flashlight battery that lights the bulb when you turn the switch on could provide the same electric energy as the electric current in a lightning bolt when it strikes... therefore every time you turned on a flashlight the electric energy would destroy the flashlight and electrocute you! As this doesn't happen, the only answer that your question can have is no!


What is an example of electric current?

Here are a couple. Assuming everything is "normal" here, if you drop a bagel in the toaster and turn it on by pushing the lever down, the AC current the toaster uses (draws) will stabilize after a few seconds and stay constant. If you turn on your car's headlights, each lamp will draw a constant current from the DC source after a few seconds of "warm up" time. Those are examples of constant electric current.


Why is generator armature harder to rotate when it is connected to a circuit and supplying electric current?

Because a generator extracts energy from whatever is rotating it and passes this (by the electric current it produces) down the circuit to the motor (or light bulb or heater) where it is used. When there is no complete electric circuit, no electricity can flow so no (little) energy is extracted, but when the circuit is closed, electricity does flow and the armature is more difficult to turn.


Most electric plants use what to turn a generator?

Most electric plants use steam to turn a turbine which then turns a generator.

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.


What is a stuck solenoid?

A solenoid is a type of magnetic switch responsible for helping your starter motor turn on the engine. When the solenoid sticks, the ignition struggles to start. When this happens, usually your key will "catch" in when you turn it to start the vehicle.

Where is the starter relay in a dodge sprinter?

The starter on the Sprinter has a Solenoid on the starter. That is the closest thing to a starter relay. When you turn the key, current is sent to the starter solenoid which pulls in and completes a current path to the starter windings.


How does a solenoid work?

he solenoid of an autmobile is associated with the starter system and transfers an electric current into the starter motor to set the engine into operation. When the ignition key is turned, current is released from the battery and travels along an insulated wire into the solenoid. The solenoid then releases a small plunger that creates a connection between two internal electrical posts, sends the current down another wire to the starter and forces the starter motor to spin.


How do you deactivate an electromagnet?

Electromagnets are energized with an electric current. Turn the power off to stop the current will do the trick.


What does cylinoid do?

The word, 'Solenoid' defines a shape, which turns out to be cylinder-shaped. Solenoid is an adjective . . . that means that it modifies a noun. The noun in this case is coil: As in 'solenoid coil' which is cylinder-shaped. In a car, the solenoid coil, or just 'Solenoid' pulls in the electric contactor on a car's starter to turn the starter. After the car starts, the solenoid releases the contactor to where it will be ready for the next engine startup.


What kind of cells are used to turn sunlight into electric current?

Is a solenoid an output?

No, a solenoid is an actuator, which helps a computer or robotic system to output a response. The output of a solenoid is in the form of movement. Solenoids are used to move an arm or plunger through a small movement with the aid of an electromagnet. When an electric current runs through the electromagnet, it will move, hence it is sued to push or pull an object. It is my understanding that a solenoid is merely a magnetic switch. Early vehicles with power starters had a separate, non keyed starting motor. Very early vehicles had hand cranks. The solenoid allows a key driven electric starter. The purpose is to prevent high voltages from needing to go through the steering column. Here's what happens; you turn the key and a small amount of electricity travels to the solenoid, it trips the magnetic switch, which completes a circuit to allow more massive amount of energy to engage the starter motor. This is why you hear the clicking when your battery is low. The clicking is simply the solenoid switching on and off.
