Question
What is a solenoid? Draw a sketch to show the magnetic field pattern produced by a current-carrying solenoid.
Solution
Solenoid:
A solenoid is a long coil that contains large number of close turns of insulated copper wire.
The magnetic field pattern produced by a current-carrying solenoid is similar to the magnetic field produced by a bar magnet.
