What factors determine the resistance and inductance in a coil?

AI Thread Summary
Resistance in a coil is influenced by factors such as material, temperature, and wire gauge, while inductance depends on coil geometry, turns, and core material. High resistance does not necessarily correlate with high inductance, as they are determined by different physical properties. Over time, both resistance and inductance can decrease due to factors like material degradation or changes in temperature. Accurate measurement techniques are crucial for assessing these values. Understanding these factors is essential for optimizing coil performance in various applications.

Hi

what factors determine the resistance and inductance in a coil and they related i.e. if the resistance is high would the inductance be high ? Additionally, would the resistance and inductance value change over time? I only ask this as we tested the resistance and inductance on our coils after a few months and saw a drop off in both the resistance and inductance values

Thanks in advance

Hello @Milas ,
:welcome: ##\qquad ##!​

Here at PF we value some initiative: what did you find out about inductance from a google expedition so far ?

Is this schoolwork ? Please describe what you did (what coils ?) and what you know already

How did you measure the resistance and the inductance?

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
