    Voltage or current in solenoid?

    Thanks for your insight guys! The way both of you put it makes sense- current makes the field stronger, but the voltage is necessary to keep the current constant for a certain length. Thanks again!

    What's the connection between electrical current and thrust in flight?

    Hey everyone Thought I'd make an account after stopping by this forum often for questions and some good insight. I'm a high school student, currently taking AP C physics, and I like building things that move. Aspiring engineer in the making here. I'm also a student pilot, about six months away...
