Detailed explanation-1: -A coil of wire which is designed to generate a strong magnetic field within the coil is called a solenoid. Wrapping the same wire many times around a cylinder creates a strong magnetic field when an electric current is passed through it.

Detailed explanation-2: -An electromagnet is a solenoid wrapped around a bar of iron or other ferromagnetic material. A solenoid is a coil of wire with electric current flowing through it. This gives the coil north and south magnetic poles and a magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-3: -In physics, the term solenoid refers to a long, thin loop of wire, often wrapped around a metallic core, which produces a magnetic field when an electric current is passed through it. Solenoids are important because they can create controlled magnetic fields and can be used as electromagnets.

Detailed explanation-4: -A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Detailed explanation-5: -A coil of wire (solenoid) When an electric current flows, the shape of the magnetic field is very similar to the field of a bar magnet. The field inside a solenoid is strong and uniform. The small magnetic field caused by the current in each coil add together to make a stronger overall magnetic field.
