What core material property determines the inductance of an inductor?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. Permeability
Permeability measures how easily a material supports a magnetic field. Higher core permeability gives more inductance. Permittivity relates to electric fields and capacitors instead.
Tip: Permeability for inductors, permittivity for capacitors.
