Hi! I bought this solenoid from an electronics hobby shop. It consists of just coils of wire, with a metal rod in between, such that when current is passed thru the solenoid, magnetic field is created and the rod "sucks" inwards. The problem is, the solenoid is connected by a DC supply. As soon as it is connected, even though the rod did suck inwards, the whole circuit shorts itself. The solenoid's resistance is only 3.6ohms. As such, if I put a resistor in series with it, little voltage is passed thru it (it needs at least 6V), and it wun work. Can anyone kindly draw me a circuit that alleviate such situation? I need 6V to pass across the solenoid, and as little current as possible.. Thanks in advance!
