Solenoids Questions
« on: July 11, 2012, 08:08:51 pm »

Hi all,

When current is connected to a solenoid containing two iron rods side by side, the two rods move part.

Can anyone please explain why this happens?

Thanks for any help

I'll try my best to explain it.

Imagine a solenoid containing 1 iron rod, the rod will be magnetised when a current is running [N     S] <- the iron rod, imagine there are circuits around it.

With 2 rods, it becomes this:

[N   S]
[N   S], with circuits around the 2 rods, same magnetic pole repel each other so the two rods move apart.
