Gaurav Yadav answered this

It behaves like a magnet fecause it generates magnatic field line.any thing which has field lines behaves like a magnet

we can determine the poles of a solenoid by taking a bar magnet supose u take north pole of it ,if it repels that region is northpole of a solenoid ,if it atracts then it is south pole of the solenoid.

Solenoids can create controlled magnetic fields and can be used as electromagnets. A solenoid is a simple electromagnetic device consisting of a coiled electric wire, wrapped in a helix. When electric current is passed through the wire, the solenoid acts like a magnet with N and S poles at the ends of the helix.

A solenoid is a long straight insulated wire, often wrapped around a cylinder-shaped body.It produces a magnetic field when electric current is passed through it.A strong magnetic field is produced inside a solenoid when a current is allowed to pass through it.

sorry inthe diagram north pole comes near the negative terminal.

solenoid is a coil of many circular turns of a insulated copper wire closely in a shape of cylinder.

solenoid behaves as a magnet in the following ways: -

(i) magnetic field produced by a soleniod is similar to the magnetic field of a bar magnet.

(ii) one end of the solenoid behaves as north seeking pole and another end behaves as a south seeking pole as in magnet.

through these way a solenoid behaves as a magnet.

we can determine the north and the south poles of the solenoid by bring a north pole of a magnet near to any one end of the solenoid. if the magnet is attarcted it is unlike pole (south) and if it is repelled it is like pole (north).

A solenoid is a long coil of circular loops of insulated copper wire. Magnetic field lines are produced around the solenoid when a current is allowed to flow through it. The magnetic field produced by it is similar to the magnetic field of a bar magnet. The field lines produced in a current-carrying solenoid is shown in the following figure.

In the above figure, when the north pole of a bar magnet is brought near the end connected to the negative terminal of the battery, the solenoid repels the bar magnet. Since like poles repel each other, the end connected to the negative terminal of the battery behaves as the north pole of the solenoid and the other end behaves as a south pole. Hence, one end of the solenoid behaves as a north pole and the other end behaves as a south pole.

A current-carrying solenoid acts like a bar magnet :

(1) The current-carrying solenoid produces uniform magnetic field [in the form of straight, parallel lines] inside, just like a bar magnet.

(2) The current-carrying solenoid possesses polarity, just like a bar magnet.

(3) The current-carrying solenoid attracts ferromagnetic materials, just like a bar magnet.

Hope this helps! And also like!!

yes the first pole is south by a clock face rule

Imran answered this

By changing the magnetic field the magnetic field lines passes through solenoid .

Sangeeta Jha answered this

A solenoid has a large number of close, insulated circular turns. The magnet at the centre of current carrying circular wire is along the axis; so when current is passed in a solenoid, the magnetic fields due to all circular turns are added and hence the field line becomes just as for a bar magnet. Yes, we can determine the north and south poles of a current carrying solenoid with the help of a bar magnet. For this we suspend the bar magnet freely and note its ends pointing along north and south directions and mark on these ends N (north pole) and S (south pole). Now, we bring N-pole near one end of freely suspended current carrying solenoid; if there is repulsion, then that and of solenoid is N-pole and other S-pole; but if there is attraction, then that end of solenoid is S-pole and the other N-pole.

if we look at ends of solenoid then first end current is flowing in clockwise direction so it behave like south pole. then in other end current is flowing in anticlockwise direction so it faces like north pole
may this answer helps

Solenoid is coil having n number of turns of insulated copper wire. Magnetic field lines are produced around the solenoid when a current is passed through it. The magnetic field produced by it is similar to the magnetic field of a bar magnet. The field lines produced in a current-carrying solenoid is shown in the following figure.
