In a mechanical solenoid, current is applied to a coil, allowing a contact to close (either by a plunger moving to make contact, OR by a hinged/pivoted contact to move to make contact) to complete a circuit and activate a device, such as an ignition/starter.
In a solid-state device, there are no moving parts, other than electrons, being routed through diodes, etc., to complete a circuit

How does sound travel through a solid?
Sound, which is mechanical energy, travels through a solid by setting up a mechanical compression wave in that solid. When the compression wave of the sound in air strikes the solid, it compresses the solid. It isn't much, but the energy delivered by the air is transferred into the solid. Waves of compression and rarefaction move through the solid as they did in air, but move much faster in a solid.
Mechanical waves require a medium for transmission?
Yes, that's the definition of "mechanical". Electromagnetic waves do not.
Mechanical waves travel slowest in which physical state?
It moves it's slowest in the solid state
What is definition of mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves: they are waves that propagates by the vibration of particles of the medium(Solid,Liquid,Gas), so it needs medium to propagate.It may be transverse waves or longitudinal waves.
Do mechanical waves require a medium?
Yes, mechanical waves require a medium to travel through. This medium can be a solid, liquid, or gas. Without a medium, such as in empty space, mechanical waves cannot propagate.
What are the differences between solid and gas?
A solid has a form, the gas is without form.
What are the differences between Euclid and Plato?
euclid is element and Plato is solid
Two differences between liquids and solids?
There are a few differences between liquids and solids. Two of these differences are that a solid is solid at room temperature, while a liquid remains fluid. A liquid will fill the shape of whatever container it rests in, while a solid maintains its shape.
What is differences between mechanical and hydraulic brakes?
mechanical and hydraulic are two different power transmission medium. in mechanical brakes solid links or levers are used to achieve the required braking. in hydraulic brakes there are no links, here the braking is achieved by the hydraulic fluid, the hydraulic system in which the force applied at the brake pedal is multiplied several times to achieve the requied braking.
What are the Differences between sunflower oil and sunflower margarine?
ones solid and ones liquid
Differences between solids and gases?
The particles in a gas are much more spread out than in a solid.
Different between platonic solids and archimedean solid?
what are the differences between platonic and archimedean solids? physically , naturely and features
What are the differences between a molcule of a liquid and a solid?
An actual single molecule is no different in a gaseous, liquid or solid state. However the thermal (kinetic) energy present in it varies between the states.
What is the differences between the inner core and the outer core?
The inner core is a solid, and the outer core is a liquid.
What are the differences between solidliquidand gas?
Ice is a solid, water is a liquid, and oxygen is a gas in the air we breath.
What are the differences between solid timber and plywood?
Solid timber is cut from a single piece of wood. Plywood is manufactured from several sheets of wood laminated together.
What is the state of matter in each layer of earth?
Broadly speaking the earth is solid in all layers except the outer core which is a liquid. However there are mechanical differences in the behaviour of the solid layers in that some (such as the lithosphere) are brittle whereas the asthenosphere and mesosphere are ductile.
