After troubleshooting a series RL circuit, you check the resistance of the inductor and it is around 40 ohms. What conclusion does this bring you to?
A)Since the inductor's voltage was nearly zero, the inductor is probably okay, so the resistor must be open.
B)Since the inductor's voltage was nearly zero, the inductor is probably okay so the resistor must be shorted.
C)Since the inductor's voltage was nearly zero, you are sure the windings have shorted.
D)not enough information

The inductor's resistance is typically very low, so a resistance of 40 ohms indicates that the windings have shorted.
