describe the magnetic field produced by current carrying solenoid. |
| Answer» The solenoid is a long cylindrical coil of wire consisting of a large no. of turns bound together very tightly. Solenoid is a coil of a number of turns of insulated copper wire closely wrapped in shape of a cylinder. Solenoid behaves like North Pole and the other end behaves like the South Pole. Magnetic field lines inside the solenoid are in the form of parallel straight lines. This means that the field is same at all the points inside the solenoid. When soft iron rod is placed inside the solenoid, it behaves like an electro magnet. The use of soft iron as core in the solenoid produces the strongest magnetism. | |
