Determining Inductor Value Using Parallel Resonance #electronics #testing
Channel: More Than Electronics
Date: 2024-02-24

My component tester failed to test an inductor I have, so I used a sine wave generator and an oscilloscope to figure out it's value using the parallel resonance method.  The capacitor used has 1% tolerance so the results should be fairly close.
