Winding / Coil Question

[tropes]

Question for those who know? How do I test the ohm resistance in the coil? I'm new to circuits I know it might be a simple answer but I dunno. I'll figure it out soon and post if I don't get an answer.

Use a multimeter. Connect the leads to each end of the coil wire and turn the meter dial to 200 in the ohm section.

Don't forget that this is the resistance to direct voltage - a battery. If this ends up
as part of a circuit involving alternating current, household mains electricity, it will be
different

oh and i forgot to ask. How in heck do i make solder stick top this enameled wire ? Somehow I need to strip off the enemal from the ends but i tried allsorts, including burning with a flame, and it still wont stick. The multimeter just reads open circuit when i measure the resistance so i cant be down to the wire ?

help!

dont know if youve found this out yet, but the best way to make solder adhere to you coil is to hold a bead of solder on the end of your wire for about 10 seconds or less (depending on the temp of your iron) that will melt off the coating and flow onto the suface of the wire. after that, soldering the wire is easy because your coil wire is tinned.

I can't thank you enough, I found a way of testing them on my own, but I didn't know what setting the multimeter was suppose to be on.
