Calculating Electrical Parameters of Solenoid Coil for Spring Force

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the electrical parameters of a solenoid coil for a valve, one must determine the required voltage, number of turns of coil winding, and current based on the spring force needed to pull the solenoid plunger. There are formulas available that relate these parameters to the force exerted by the solenoid. The discussion suggests starting with resources like the Wikipedia page on solenoids for foundational knowledge. Participants emphasize the importance of utilizing existing links for detailed information. Understanding these calculations is essential for effectively designing a solenoid.

I want to calculate the electrical parameters of solenoid coil of a valve for a given spring force.
I know the force required to pull the solenoid plunger through a given distance against a spring, is there any formula to find out the required voltage, number of turns of coil winding & current .

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
