If it were an inductor, would it still measure 1ohm on my multimeter?
I guess I should mention that I'm using a cheap multimeter and it's lowest ohm scale is 200ohm, however I tested a few for-sure inductors, and they measure a short on ohm meter.
Is there some circuit I can build to test them, or maybe if I just cut one open, can I tell from what's inside?
[EDIT] I broke one open (pic attached) and you were right -- it's an inductor (red coil of wire).
Still – I'd like to know if there is a simple circuit to test.
