Coil vs. Solenoid

A series of connected spirals or concentric rings formed by gathering or winding

A current-carrying coil of wire that acts like a magnet when a current passes through it.

An individual spiral or ring within such a series.

An assembly used as a switch, consisting of a coil and a metal core free to slide along the coil axis under the influence of the magnetic field.

A spiral pipe or series of spiral pipes, as in a radiator.

(physics) A coil of wire that acts as a magnet when an electric current flows through it.

A wound spiral of two or more turns of insulated wire, used to introduce inductance into a circuit.

(engineering) An electromechanical device consisting of such a coil containing a metal core, the movement of which is controlled by the current.

Any of various devices of which such a spiral is the major component.

(electronics) An electromechanical switch controlled by a solenoid; solenoid switch, relay.

A roll of postage stamps prepared for use in a vending machine.

(meteorology) The region of intersection between isobaric and isopycnal surfaces.

A disturbance; a fuss.

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 attraction or repulsion, like a magnet.

To wind in concentric rings or spirals.

A coil of wire around an iron core; becomes a magnet when current passes through the coil

To wind into a shape resembling a coil.

To form concentric rings or spirals.

To move in a spiral course

Something wound in the form of a helix or spiral.

Any intrauterine device (Abbreviation: IUD)—the first IUDs were coil-shaped.

(electronics) A coil of electrically conductive wire through which electricity can flow.

A cylinder of clay.

(figurative) Entanglement; perplexity.

A noise, tumult, bustle, or turmoil.

To wind or reel e.g. a wire or rope into regular rings, often around a centerpiece.

To wind into loops (roughly) around a common center.

To wind cylindrically or spirally.

To build a pot (etc) with clay coils.

To encircle and hold with, or as if with, coils.

To wind cylindrically or spirally; as, to coil a rope when not in use; the snake coiled itself before springing.

To encircle and hold with, or as with, coils.

To wind itself cylindrically or spirally; to form a coil; to wind; - often with about or around.

A ring, series of rings, or spiral, into which a rope, or other like thing, is wound.

Fig.: Entanglement; toil; mesh; perplexity.

A series of connected pipes in rows or layers, as in a steam heating apparatus.

A noise, tumult, bustle, or confusion.

A structure consisting of something wound in a continuous series of loops;

A round shape formed by a series of concentric circles

A transformer that supplies high voltage to spark plugs in a gasoline engine

A contraceptive device placed inside a woman's womb

Tubing that is wound in a spiral

Reactor consisting of a spiral of insulated wire that introduces inductance into a circuit

To wind or move in a spiral course;

Make without a potter's wheel;

Wind around something in coils or loops
