The procedure for noting the tuning of an LC series circuit connected to it's delivery lines is simply made as a comparison of each individual reactive value, and the making of those reactive values to become equal by making those individual amperage measurements of reactance on each side, and changing those L and C values so that they appear equal at the applied frequency. Now for the same circuit to become an air core secondary we merely remove the line connections and short them for a closed loop. To adopt the same strategy of first determining the reactance of the inductor by measurement, we then assume that for just the coil case, the measurement of its current obtained as a close looped amperage measurement should yield its internal inductive reactance quantity, provided a measurable voltage can be found across the short itself. Because the secondary coil has an induced emf across it, it will measure an open circuit voltage across it; but also when the coil is shorted to determine its availability to supply current; a voltage still exists across that coil to supply that maximum current available from the source of induced emf, because the coil itself has resistance which further has a voltage drop across it pending its application of delivering current to further loads. Thus the division of the voltage found upon maximum current demand should be expressed as that voltage divided by the current produced across it to determine the sources internal resistance. The question becomes will that ratio reveal not only the internal resistance of the source, but also the internal “impedance” of the source? Will the air core secondary be current limited by its internal impedance in the same way as when given an emf supplied by actual line connections? Wouldn't this mean for the coil case alone without a capacity placed in the loop, less and less current would be produced by the secondary coil as the frequency of its AC source were increased?
