Inductance depends heavily on test frequency (and amplitude).
In fact an inductor, measured above it's resonant frequency, will behave like a capacitor.
You can see typical capacitor and inductor curves over frequency in the datasheets (or sometimes catalogs).

Hello
I'm going to order a small assortment of known value components for my "L.C. Checker V2" to make sure it's more or less correct in its readings.
I have a good assortment of capacitors here...(though none are of high tolerance) which I think will do for capacitor side of the thing. If anyone thinks I should get a few precision capacitors (instead of relying my capacitors of unknown quality), please let me know.
The inductors are a different matter.
When it comes to unknown value inductors, would it be a valid statement to say that an "RF choke" will give the same reading as a "transformer type inductor"...when measured on the L.C. Checker?? Or would they be different??
And I need suggestions as to what other value(s) of inductor(s) to order to provide a good test range for the Checker...the only thing I've come up on my own is a 1 Henry inductor (for obvious reasons... 1 Henry should = 1 Henry ). What other values would be good for starters?
I'm going to accept the stated value of all components as 100% correct ...regardless of whatever tolerance may be given for that component; in other words, I'll accept a 1 Henry inductor as a 1 Henry inductor no matter what the stated tolerance is for that particular part.
Can anyone make recommendations as to other inductive and/or capacitive values?
Thanks To All
Patrick
p.s. NOTE: NO TYPO CHECK WAS DONE HERE; please forgive any that are present.
