Solution

1) The main difference between a solenoid and an electromagnet is the way they function or utilized and the way they are constructed or build..

An electromagnet is a copper coiled or wound around a solid piece of metallic core that when energized becomes a magnet..

While a solenoid is very similar in construction except the core is hollow.. A hollow core where a metallic pin or plunger is positioned. The metallic plunger is mechanically coupled or linked to a mechanism that will open or close a valve, a contact point, etc.

Basically a solenoid is an electromagnet driven mechanism that will convert an electrical energy into a mechanical form



2) Heat produced by an electric current depends on the following factors

i. Electric current

ii. Resistance of the heating element

iii. Time taken to consume electricity
