The magnetic field produced by a current-carrying conductor exerts a force on a magnet placed in the vicinity of the conductor.

An electric current flowing through a conductor produces a magnetic field.

The strong magnetic field inside a solenoid can be used to magnetize a piece of magnetic material, like soft iron, when placed inside the coil. The resulting magnet is called an electromagnet.

The magnetic field lines inside the solenoid are in the form of parallel straight lines, indicating a uniform magnetic field at all points inside the solenoid.

One end of the solenoid behaves as a magnetic north pole, while the other end behaves as the south pole.
