Product Code : SCL-PLE-11526
Quick Answer: The Solenoid Model is a tightly wound coil of insulated copper wire on a base with power terminals. On a low-voltage DC supply it produces a magnetic field like that of a bar magnet.
Last updated: 18 October 2026
Key Features
- Coil of insulated copper wire, tightly wound, on a base stand.
- Power terminals for a low-voltage DC source.
- Field pattern can be traced with a compass or iron filings.
- Explains electromagnets and devices such as electric bells, relays and motors.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Coil | Insulated copper wire, tightly wound |
| Components | Solenoid coil, power terminals, base stand |
| Power supply | Low-voltage DC source |
How It Is Used
The terminals are connected to a low-voltage DC supply and the current is switched on. A plotting compass or iron filings placed around the coil reveal the field lines inside and outside the solenoid. Switch off after the demonstration, since prolonged current can overheat the coil.
Frequently Asked Questions
What supply does the Solenoid Model need?
A low-voltage DC source connected to its terminals. Keep the current on only for the demonstration, as prolonged flow can overheat the coil.
