Joe, Peter is correct -XL =6.28fl and real current thru the coil is "choked" off even though the dc resistance looks like a short. skin effect is only relevant on small diameter wires but in any case would also be choked off by the impeadance just like the DC path. The impedance effectively places itself in series with the circuit limiting any currents even through magnetic couplings - whatever momentary current goes one way is stored in the field and then repaid on the alternate cycle. A Coil would get hot to the touch if it really "dropped" the power like a resistor but it does not get hot because it is only storing it not dissipating it. Fran
