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.
How can you strengthen a solenoid's magnetic field?
Think of the four C's- Add more Coils- Add an iron Core- Add a stronger Current- Make the coils Closer
How could you modify a solenoid to produce a stronger magnetic field?
Hi, By using two windings instead of one. One is a low resistance winding that provide the strong pulling force and a second one (the hold winding) to supply the holding force. When first turned on, both winding provide the strong pulling force needed to actuate the solenoid. As the plunger reaches its final on position, the strong winding is switched off by a built in switch actuated by the plunger. This winding arrangement is used extensively in car starters. René
Where is the magnetic field created alternator?
The magnetic field in an alternator is created by the rotor, which is an electromagnet that produces a rotating magnetic field as it spins. This magnetic field induces an alternating current in the stator windings through electromagnetic induction, which is then converted to usable electrical power.
Why a transformer only work with alternating currents?
The iron core of a transformer holds a magnetic field when energized by the primary windings that conduct current. It is the building up and collapse of the magnetic field that induces current in the secondary windings. Direct current has no build up or decay of magnetic field (except when turned on and shut off) so no current is induced in the secondary windings.
Determine the effect of variable area to the magnetic flux within the solenoid at constant number of windings and current?
With constant number of windings and current, the magnetic field density of a solenoid remains constant. However, magnetic flux is determined by the flow of magnetic field force through a given area. Therefore, the area is linearly and directly proportional to the magnetic flux.

Why a starter motor solenoid has two windings?
to move the plunger in and out
What makes a electromagnet stronger than a solenoid?
The strength of an electromagnet is determined by the number of windings, the current flowing through the windings, and the permeability of the core.
Which starter solenoid windings has the greatest number of turns?
They usually have equal numbers of turns
What is the difference between core type and shell type transformers?
The difference is between how the windings relate to magnetic material around which they are wound. If this magnetic material surrounds the windings then the device is said to be a shell type transformer. If the windings cover the exterior of the magnetic material then the transformer is said to be of the core type. Please see the link.

What is the purpose of a hold in windings in a starter?
There are pull in windings and hold in windings in a solenoid on a starter. The pull in pulls the starter gear into the ring gear on the engine then the hold in takes over and allows more power for the starter to turn the engine.

How electrical genrator work?
The stator and the armature are both wound. An excitation current is applied to the field(stator) windings from a DC source like a battery in order to produce a magnetic field. The armature is connected to a turbine or diesel engine via a shaft. As the armature turns, it's windings cut the magnetic flux of the field windings inducing an emf in the armature windings.
How does Lenz's Law explain power loss in transformers?
It doesn't, really. The power loss in transformers is broken down into copper loss and iron loss. The copper loss comes from the resistance of the windings in the transformer and depends on the load current, while the iron loss in the magnetic core depends on the magnetic flux density and is constant if the supply voltage is constant.
How can the strength of electric magnetic fields be strengthened?
More electricity to, and/or more windings on, the coil.
