What factors determine the resistance and inductance in a coil?

Click For 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?

Hello! I want to generate an RF magnetic field at variable frequencies (from 1 to 20 MHz) using this amplifier: https://www.minicircuits.com/WebStore/dashboard.html?model=LZY-22%2B, by passing current through a loop of current (assume the inductive resistance is negligible). How should I proceed in practice? Can i directly connect the loop to the RF amplifier? Should I add a 50 Ohm in series? Thank you!
