Question:

Can I make ferrite beads from normal ferrite inductors?

I can't find ferrite beads in the local market, can I disassemble normal ferrite inductors (coils) and use their cores as ferrite beads ?

Answer:

It's possible, but the inductance of the bead will be small compared to a typical core inductor. Use a very small core.
