What is a solenoid?

Do you know solenoid?

उत्तर

A solenoid is a copper wire with a resistive coating coiled into a chain of loops. When an electric current flows through a solenoid, magnetic lines of force form in a pattern. Solenoid magnetic fields are similar to those created by bar magnets. A solenoid's open ends function as magnetic north and south poles, respectively.
