This discussion came up a year ago so I sacrificed a coil with internal resistance and cut it apart. No heat producing resistor inside. That is the point I was trying to make - - apparently poorly -- in my earlier post.

The resistance in an internal resistance coil is a function of winding wire gauge and length.
