Hi,
I suspect it might short circuit as the coil is really just wires coiled up into a lump. Are inductors actually solenoids? Inductors actually shorts themselves if connected to a DC supply right?
What would you suggest to prevent the high voltage? Will a diode help?
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...
