Coil count

[Rfmhz]

Hi there .just a little question regarding coils .on my schematic it says 5 turns .would the half turn at left end and half turn at right end count as a turn ?

 

[ronsimpson]

yes,
The 1/2T at the left and the 1/2T at the right, If that was all you had, would you have one turn?

It's half turn on each end .but say you look at top of it see my point there ?

Do you have a picture. I don't see your point.

If the coil made by the wire makes a full circle, then it counts as one turn.

Nothing is connected to the top of the coil so there are no half turns. The coil shown simply has 4 turns.
