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 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
