 Solenoid principles (Coil & core)

When an electric current flows through a coil, a magnetic field is generated.

The following applies to strengthen the magnetic field:

1. Increasing the number of windings (1loop, 2 loop, 3 loop, etc)
2. Increasing the strength of the current (1 A, 2A, etc)

The following applies to the weaken the magnetic field:

1. Lengthening the coil reduces the field. (the soft iron core length)
