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 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
