Question:

rewiring an inductor with 0.50mm wire?

I have an inductor that I have unwinded. I measured it with a micrometer and it seems to come out at about 0.58mm wire. The wire was covered with a lacquer to help hold it all together. There was about 825cm of this wire.Would it make much of a difference to the inductance to rewind this inductor using 0.50mm wire instead of 0.58mm?

Answer:

If you rewind it exactly the same as the old one,not much change on inductance. But the copper loss increasing a bit.
If you use the same number of turns and length of winding the inductance will be the same. The resistance will be higher.
