Question

1. the resistance of a shorted inductor equals

a a small value
b 0 ohms
c infinite ohms
d the color code value

Explanation:

A shorted inductor means there is a direct conducting path (like a wire with negligible resistance) across it. In electrical terms, a short - circuit has a resistance of \(0\) ohms. A small value (option a) is not precise as \(0\) ohms is a specific case. Infinite ohms (option c) would be an open - circuit. The color code value (option d) is related to the nominal resistance value of a component when it is not shorted or open, but a shorted inductor's resistance is determined by the short - circuit condition, not its color - coded nominal value.

Answer:

B. 0 ohms
