solenoid
IPA: sˈɔɫʌnɔɪd
noun
- (physics) A coil of wire that acts as a magnet when an electric current flows through it.
- (engineering) An electromechanical device consisting of such a coil containing a metal core, the movement of which is controlled by the current.
- (electronics) An electromechanical switch controlled by a solenoid; solenoid switch, relay.
- (meteorology) The region of intersection between isobaric and isopycnal surfaces.
