A current flowing coil wire solenoid establishes magnetic field
which very similar that bar magnet.
Electrical Transformers
A transformer electrical machine without moving parts, which used
to change the value alternating voltage.17 consists two coils
called the primary and secondary coils windings, wound a
common core.
● transformer such that shown Fig.16 shows the structure
and one application the solenoid. Winding the coil around a
soft iron core increases the flux density because the lines magnetic flux
concentrate the magnetic material.

up very thin sheets called laminations, improve efficiency. This effect put practical use the electrical relay
as used motor starter alarm circuit.
A transformer will only work alternating supply, will not normally
work from D.
