I have a transformer that I am making into a electromagnet using a 12 v battery . The wirer size is 3 mm dia and there is 2 wirers joined.
I have provided photos of the battery and trans former.
I connected the wires to the battery but the insulation started to melt but the magnetic field is very strong . What can I reduce voltage or current to prevent the wire I connected to the battery from melting but to maintain the magnetic force.
