Question

suppose that you had an ohmmeter and a mystery component that could be either an inductor or a capacitor. How could you use the ohmmeter to determine what the mystery component was

Answer 1

Answer:

To determine the mystery component we will connect the mystery component to a DC voltage source, then I will measure the resistance of the component with the use of Ohmmeter, the value of the resistance of the mystery component will determine what the mystery component is

if the resistance > 1( very high )   then component is a capacitor

if the resistance = 0 then component is an inductor
