The voltage measured across the inductor in a series RL has dropped significantly from normal. What could possibly be the problem?
A)partial shorting of the windings of the inductor
B)The resistor has gone up in value.
C)The resistor has gone down in value.
D)either A or B

A partial shorting of the windings of the inductor would reduce its inductance, leading to a lower voltage drop across it. If the resistor's value increases, it would cause a larger voltage drop across the resistor, leaving less voltage across the inductor.
