Which of the following is NOT an item of electrical equipment that exhibits inductive properties?

Resistors are components that primarily resist the flow of current and do not exhibit inductive properties. Inductance is a property associated with coils of wire or similar electromagnetic devices, where a magnetic field is created in response to an electric current. Motors, transformers, and generators, on the other hand, all rely on the principles of electromagnetism and thus possess inductive characteristics.

Motors use inductive coils to generate motion in response to a magnetic field. Transformers rely on inductive coupling to transfer electrical energy between circuits, enabling voltage conversion. Generators also make use of electromagnetic induction to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Since resistors do not store energy in a magnetic field or convert energy through inductive means, they are the clear choice in this context.
