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.

What does cylinoid do?

The word, 'Solenoid' defines a shape, which turns out to be cylinder-shaped. Solenoid is an adjective . . . that means that it modifies a noun. The noun in this case is coil: As in 'solenoid coil' which is cylinder-shaped. In a car, the solenoid coil, or just 'Solenoid' pulls in the electric contactor on a car's starter to turn the starter. After the car starts, the solenoid releases the contactor to where it will be ready for the next engine startup.


What lets the north pole and south pole of a solenoid be able to change poles?

The poles of the solenoid depend on the direction of the current through the coil. The current reverses if you just reverse the polarity of the voltage between the ends of the coil. Heck, if you energize the coil with AC, you can do that 120 times every second.
