This I am hoping will be an easily answered question. I just seem to be too dumb to figure out the answer.
I'm building up an analog multimeter kit I got as a present from a relative. There's an inductor in the parts list and it came broken (leads snapped of). It was a 57.4mH inductor...not sure where they got that value from, rather strange.
I need to replace it. I am going to use a 56mH inductor as I'm pretty sure that it's in a non critical part of the circuit, and inductors usually have a pretty big tolerance as it is. 5-10% for prewound inductors.
Anyway, I was looking at the schematic and I'm a bit confused on what it's actually doing in the circuit. Is it part of a filter of some sort? I think I spot an oscillator by the BJT for the buzzer, but I don't think it's related.
It is connected to ground.
What's it doing?
