f what? Two hundred and twenty-eight and a half divided by one-half;four hundred and fifty-seven ohms. Now, if one-third of the coil were cut out by a good solidshort-circuit, the resistance left would be Two ohms. Add this to the circuit resistance of 457. Four hundred and fifty-nine ohms total.… … FIG. 5. Practically two-thirds of the drop in a good coil, showingthat about one-third of the coil is cut out. But isnt there some way of getting at it without so muchfiguring? Yes. If you wanted to find the actual resistance of a coil andhad no Wheatstone bridge, you could rig up a testing outfit…
