Why a starter motor solenoid has two windings?
to move the plunger in and out
What force moves the plunger when the solenoid is activated?
An electromagnetic field
What is a solenoid pump?
It's a type of piston / plunger pump using the principle of an electrical solenoid to articulate the piston.
Is a solenoid a starter?
The starter solenoid is the small housing on top of the starter it consit of a spring a plunger and electro magnets

What do you mean by solenoid valve and its application?
In many ways a solenoid valve is like a regular valve. It opens and closes to let the fluid or gas get through the pipe. The difference is that a solenoid does the work. A solenoid is an electrical device with a coil of wire surrounding a plunger. When electricity flows through the coil, the plunger moves up or down, due to the electromagnetic field.
How do you wire a solenoid switch on a Mercury Ford Topaz?
The wiring of the solenoid will depend on what purpose the solenoid serves and the brand. In basic terms, when power is turned onto the solenoid, the inner coil pulls the plunger. The unit needs power and a ground, with a switch or relay to trigger it.
How a starter solenoid works?
When the car is started, voltage is sent from the battery to the solenoid. The pull-in coil is capable of drawing a lot of current and generating a large magnetic field, and is the primary drain on the battery. This creates the magnetic force that draws the plunger into the core and completes the circuit between the terminals of the battery. The movement of the plunger causes the starter's drive gear to move into mesh with the flywheel ring gear. This is what causes the motor to turn. The hold-in coil generates a much weaker magnetic field and holds the plunger in place. This saves battery power and reserves most of the battery's life for starting the car.
What is selonoid?
A bad or incorrect word. A solenoid is a magnetic coil plunger that controls an attached switch or valve of some sort.

How do you increase strength of already weakened solenoid using a 12 Vdc battery and how long does the process require?
Solenoids do not weaken. They either operate or they don't due to the coil circuit being open. The plunger in the solenoid may be hanging up and that is what is causing you to think that the solenoid is weakening. Take the unit apart and clean the plunger mechanism, spray a bit of WD40 on the plunger and then try operating the solenoid again to see if it makes any improvement. Check the wiring of the solenoid circuit to see if any corrosion can be observed. This is the same as adding a resistance in series with the solenoid coil which tends to drop the voltage received by the solenoid coil. I agree with the other parts of your post but a solenoid can weaken if some of the windings have insulation breakdown due to high temps or mis-wiring the windings will short to one another creating a snowball effect over time decreasing resistance in the circuit and eventually burning up.
