A solenoid (from the French solénoïde, derived in turn from the Greek solen `pipe, channel` + combining form of Greek eidos `form, shape`) is a coil wound into a tightly packed helix. The term was invented by French physicist André-Marie Ampère to designate a helical coil. In physics, the term refers specifically to a long, thin loop of wi...

[DNA] The solenoid defines the packing of DNA as a 30 nm fiber of chromatin and results from the helical winding of at least five nucleosome strands. In eukaryotic cells, 146 bp of DNA are wrapped approximately 1.65 times around a histone octamer (each histone consists of 2 H2A, H2B dimers, and H3, H4 tetramer) which together are called a n...

[mathematics] In mathematics, a solenoid is a compact connected topological space (i.e. a continuum) that may be obtained as the inverse limit of an inverse system of topological groups and continuous homomorphisms where each Si is a circle and fi is the map that uniformly wraps the circle Si+1 ni times (ni ≥ 2) around the circle Si. This...

[meteorology] In the context of meteorology, a solenoid is a tube-shaped region in the atmosphere where isobaric (constant pressure) and isopycnal (constant density) surfaces intersect, causing vertical circulation. They are so-named because they are driven by the solenoid term of the vorticity equation. Examples of solenoids include the se...

• (n.) An electrodynamic spiral having the conjuctive wire turned back along its axis, so as to neutralize that component of the effect of the current which is due to the length of the spiral, and reduce the whole effect to that of a series of equal and parallel circular currents. When traversed by a current the solenoid exhibits polarity and ...

A device, used in circuit breakers, for producing a short lateral movement of a sliding iron core. This is attracted by the magnetic field produced when an electric current flows in one of the coils surrounding either end of the slider. The term solenoid is also used to described an elongated coil u...

Solenoids are commonly used in 'dumb' cash drawers and incorporate a cable connected trigger which releases the drawer. Cash drawers with solenoids are interfaced to receipt printers that 'drive' them. Solenoids have different voltages and are integrated into the cash drawer dependent on the printer they are interfaced to.

A solenoid is a coil of wire with an electrical current flowing through it. An iron core, inserted into the coil, has the effect of increasing the strength of the magnetic field produced. An increased current or a greater number of turns on the coil will also increase the strength of the magnetic field. See also: Electromagnet
