lol.
U should be trying to 'avoid' resistance.
creating a coil will increase that resistance.
*^ Just to make sure u know that ^*

Basically any wiring should be laid flat out.
Straight as possible (a line).

U don't really want to loop any wires.

creating a coil will increase resistance simply by making the path for the current (electrons) longer.

why do you actually want to create a coil anyway? if you create a coil, you will also create a small inductance, which you dont really want! if you want a resistance for any reason, use a resistor, they cheap enough
