 Inductor
The impedance and inductive in the inductor are positively
proportional. Therefore, the large inductor equals to the high
impedance and vice versa. Figure 3.9 shows the equivalent
circuit of inductor. If the inductor is small, the Rs is more
important than the Rp. If the inductor is large, the Rp should be
taking care of. So, uses series mode to measure low inductor and
parallel mode to measure high inductor.
