solenoid

 

[ หˆsoสŠlษ™หŒnษ”ษชd ]

Noun
Context #1 | Noun

electromagnetism

A solenoid is a type of electromagnet that consists of a coil of wire, often wrapped around a metallic core. When an electric current passes through the wire, it generates a magnetic field. This magnetic field can be harnessed for various applications, including in motors and switches. Solenoids are commonly used in devices that require the conversion of electrical energy into linear motion, such as in valves and actuators.

Synonyms

coil, electromagnet, inductor

Examples of usage

  • The solenoid in the car starter engages the motor.
  • An electric field is generated when the solenoid is activated.
  • Solenoids are used in many automated industrial processes.

Word origin

The term 'solenoid' comes from the Greek word 'solenoides', which means 'cylindrical'. It was first used in the mid-19th century when scientists began to study electromagnetism in more detail. The invention and understanding of the solenoid were crucial for the development of electrical devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical motion. Notably, the relationship between electricity and magnetism was established by physicist Andrรฉ-Marie Ampรจre, and later developments by others paved the way for practical applications of solenoids in engineering. With advancements in technology, solenoids have become integral components in various fields, including robotics, automotive, and industrial automation.
