A solenoid that requires a momentary voltage source to change position,then holds position and requires reverse current pulse to revert to its original position known as?

A) Latching solenoid
B) Non-latching solenoid
C) pulse actuator
D) induction sensor

Latching Solenoid

A solenoid device that can hold its position (engaged or disengaged) without needing continuous electrical power, a reemphasis on its function for maintaining states.

Reverse Current Pulse

A method used in electrical engineering to apply a current in the opposite direction to reset or initiate a process.

Momentary Voltage

A temporary spike or drop in electrical voltage, typically of short duration.

  • Differentiate between latching and non-latching solenoids based on their operational requirements.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
A latching solenoid is designed to maintain its position after being actuated by a momentary pulse of energy, and it requires a reverse pulse to return to its original state. This characteristic allows it to hold its position without continuous power, distinguishing it from non-latching solenoids that require constant power to maintain their state.
