What is the average ohms per turn in a pickup?

0

I take a humbucking bobbin that uses 42 plain enamel magnet wire and it reads 3,700 ohms or 3.7k, divide it by 5,000 turns and you get .74 (average) ohms per turn. Remember that the length and width of a pickup will change as the dimension of the bobbin or coil change. Wide and thin coils like Fender Jazzmaster pickups will have a higher average ohm per turn than a narrow and tall coil like a Fender Stratocaster. If you take the ohms of a pickup and divide it by the number of turns if it is known, than you can measure the ohms per turn. The outer turn of a coil will have a higher DC resistance than the inner turn of a coil using the same magnet wire. The outer coil has a longer length of magnet wire even though the measurement may be small, it still will have a different measurement.
