The solenoid valve is a simple device in which a solenoid is used to control and regulate fluid flow. It has a coil with a free movable plunger or an iron rod with a spring inside. When we energize the coil, the plunger moves from its position due to magnetic attraction, and when we cut the power to the coil, the plunger returns to its original position with the help of a spring. As soon as the plunger comes in the path of the flowing fluid, its flow stops.

Magnetism: The basis for understanding inductors is provided by magnetism and a few fundamental electromagnetic field laws, revealing clear and fundamental knowledge of inductors and ferrites. The most important phenomena and laws will still perhaps be there from physics lessons:

Derived from two Greek words: Solen (pipe) and Eidos (coil), the solenoid is a type of an electromagnetic device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It is generally made by tightly wounding wires in a helix shape around a piece of metal. Whenever an electric current passes through it, a magnetic field is created.

Solenoid and relay conjure visions of an ancient electromechanical world now replaced by all-electronic devices, smart motors, and more. That almost makes sense, as these two components in various forms have been with us for over 150 years. But don’t be fooled: Both are still indispensable devices … and remain viable choices for the conversion of electrical energy to mechanical motion (in the case of solenoids) or where a signal must control the on-off path of one or more other signals (in the case of relays).
