G6A11
What happens when an inductor is operated above its self-resonant frequency?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. It becomes capacitive
Every inductor has some capacitance between its turns. Above its self-resonant frequency, that capacitance dominates and the inductor behaves like a capacitor.
Tip: Above self-resonance, L acts like C.
