A solenoid is a coil of electric wire wrapped in a propeller, often around a metal core, used to create a magnetic field when an electrical current crosses it
Magnetic field |
Operating
- Magnetic Field Creation: When electrical current passes through the coil, it generates a magnetic field inside and around the solenoid.
- Electromagnetic Effect: This magnetic field can attract or repel ferromagnetic objects (such as a mobile metal core) located near or inside the solenoid.
Applications
1. Electromagnets: Used in various devices to generate a controlled magnetic field.
2. Electromagnetic Valves: Used in plumbing and refrigeration systems to control the flow of fluids.
3. Relays and contacts: used to open or close electrical circuits.
4. Linear Actors: Converting electrical energy into linear motion.
Coil: A winding of conductor wire.
- Core: Often made of mild iron to increase the intensity of the magnetic field.
Solenoid is a fundamental element in many electromechanical devices thanks to its ability to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy via a magnetic
