What are the methods of measuring inductance??
 

use an inductance meter(LC meter)

Hi,

Sometimes inductivity is not all you want to know.
* Inductivity in relation to DC current
* saturation
* ESR
* inductivity in relation of frequency

Ans: 1) Direct measurement with help of LCR Meter/ LC meter
2) Direct measurement with DC Current applied in LCR Meter
3) Indirect method : Apply AC voltage to inductor and measure voltage and current then calculate the inductance from impedance, Impedance = V/i

From all answers this is most well defined :clap:

And because most LC meters have a poor or none selections speaking of test frequency range.
For testing up to 100KHz you can do that by not spending thousands of Euro for bench-top LCR but by using a handheld LCR as for example a DE5000.

But in case that you are a developer who need specific frequencies for applications as for example SMPS at 60KHz, or about testing QI pads at 145 KHz, them you need a bench top.

Correct; but if you are going to test only a few, you can set up a simple one using a frequency generator and a scope. You can also set up a simple one like the physics class experiment on the B-H curve that will tell you a lot about the core material. You can use a rather simple set up to measure cores upto 1MHz frequency range.

No, in electrical measurements within 2016 it is unproductive to use workarounds as for example several non-calibrated instruments instead of one.


But now we have another problem, we lost the poor guy from China ( he seems banned).
