Which test checks coil primary resistance?

  • A.An ohmmeter across the high tension tower and the coil body, which reveals whether the primary has shorted to earth
  • B.An ohmmeter across the two low tension terminals
  • C.An ohmmeter between the low tension terminal and the high tension tower, which measures the primary winding directly
  • D.A voltmeter

Answer: B

Primary resistance is a fraction of an ohm to a few ohms between the two small terminals. Measuring to the tower gives the secondary resistance, which makes the second option a real measurement of the other winding. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. A limit that survives making every external component ideal is an intrinsic one, and worth knowing for that reason.
