I was advised use a ferrite bead and a 10Ω resistor on the gate of a power Mosfet and the project I'm working on needed 2 of them and I only had one and an idea came to me, what would happen if you drilled a hole in a piece of aluminum and used it instead of a ferrite bead? It would still create some inductance, wouldn't it? but how much? I tried to measure the inductance of a piece of wire with a ferrite bead on it and it couldn't be measured, not with my equipment, or what would happen if you used a small washer? A ferrite bead is made of powdered magnetic material and is not conductive, where as aluminum or a washer is. I kept looking until I found a 2nd ferrite bead, but I still wonder what would happen with the aluminum or the washer, any one know?
