Like Jerry says, there's more than just resistance at work. Inductance in windings affects transient current. There's also capacitance in other types of circuits. If you had an oscilloscope, you could watch the current change (as a result of the inductance) as you apply voltage to a coil. It's probably too fast to see on an ohmmeter.
I'm not even very knowledgeable about circuits, as I'm just a Mechanical Engineer. I never could understand how the electrons get thru a wire when there's no hole in the middle for them.
The saying in Mechanical Engineering is "E=MCsquared and you can't push on a rope."
