Guys, single coil reading a higher ohm than a dual coil build???

[Tuvya]

Hey,

"Oh, okay, I see ohms law of resistance. If I can I'll delete this. Thx"


Why is is that I'm squishing together a 7 wrap 26 guage a1 kanthol and getting about a 1.0 ohm reading....

While after I'm adding on a 2nd coil, the build will go down???

Ohm multi reader and ipv 2 is reading the same and yes I'm using the positive and negative posts correctly.

Even my single 1 ohm squished 7 wrap seems high?

thanks,

confused?

When two equal resistance coils are connected parallel (++/--), the given resistance of one coil is divided by 2 to give half the resistance.

Here's a wikipedia section on the subject,

A formula for two resistances in parallel is called Product over Sum
Product / Sum
1*1 / 1+1
1 / 2 = .5 ohm

OR if the resistances are the same then
R / 2
1 / 2 = .5 ohm
