Guessing at the length and diameter of a 5W resistor and using Tom's
estiamte of "about five" turns, the usual formula for the inductance of
a solenoid gives results somewhere in the right area. I wonder how well
it works with the actual dimensions?
Could you run a ruler over the resistors, Tom, and give us a better
estimate of the actual number of turns?
