The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous

Will an electromagnet be obtained if steel is placed inside the solenoid?​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:A solenoid is a simple electromagnetic device consisting of a coiled electric wire, wrapped in a 3D circular pattern. When electric current is passed through the wire, the solenoid acts like a magnet with N and S poles at the ends of the coil.

When a ferromagnetic material rod is permanently placed inside the solenoid, the metal greatly increases the magnetic effect and becomes a permanent electromagnet. Moreover, it can also be used as an electrical switch by drawing in or pushing out a ferromagnetic material like an iron rod. Depending on the directions of the rod and the electrical current the switching action takes place.

Given figure  represents the solenoid as electromagnet and the switching action.
