How can you determine resistance of inductor in single phase with DC source?

Your question is confusing -is the inductor supplied with a.c. or d.c.?
In either case, you can determine the inductance of an inductor by disconnecting it, and measuring its resistance with an ohmmeter. If you want a really accurate value of resistance, you could use a Wheatstone Bridge, instead.

Inductor works in direct current?
Yes, an inductor works with direct current. It is called an electromagnet. Of course, a practical electromagnet has series resistance, otherwise the current in the inductor would increase to the limit of the current/voltage source.
Why a transformer designed for a 120V AC input will often burn out if connected to a 120V DC source?
All transformers are designed to work on AC. They do not work on DC.If you connect an inductor to DC, the current will increase until the capacity of the source or the conductance (1/resistance) capacity of the inductor and conductors is reached. Often, this condition will overheat and destroy the inductor, or destroy the source. A transformer is not an exception, as it is a form of inductor.
What determines the actual magnitude and direction of current through voltage source?
The voltage itself will determine the direction of current (assuming there isn't another source pushing current through the source backwards); the amount of current will be determined by the thevenin equivalent resistance of the circuit connected to that source (the resistance "seen" by the source, which can be lumped into a single circuit element).
What 2 Factors Determine How Much Amperage Will Flow?
Voltage and resistance determine amperage, assuming the source can provide the amperes.
Why a inductor is used in series before diode instead of resistor?
An inductor will supply better current source.
What circumstances is it possible for the rms current drawn from a certain source to have the same magnitude when an inductance is connected in series with a given impedance?
The same as what? when an inductor is connected in series with a resistor and a current passed through them, the voltages across the resistor and inductor are equal when the reactance is equal to the resistance: 2.pi.f.L = R
Are inductors measured in ohm's Henry's or reactance?
Inductors can be measured in all three of the above:When an the value of an inductor is given in henrys you are being given its "capacity" to store energy in a magnetic field.Because the inductor is not made of a perfect conductor (one without resistance) it will inevitably has some associated resistance. This is the value that is being referred to if the value of ohms is given.If an inductor is part of an AC (alternating current) circuit it will have a changing "resistance" (resistance as seen by the source) that is directly related to the frequency of the circuit. This is where the reactance value would be given. It equation is given as: 2*pi*f*L. Where f is frequency in hertz and L is the inductance given in henrys..
Can we use a DC source with an inductor?
Yes, an inductor allows DC to pass through it. An inductor resists a change in current, proportional to inductance and voltage. At equilibirum, an ideal inductor has zero impedance. The differential equation for an inductor is di/dt = v / l
What does a inductor do?
Inductors and capacitors are called reactive elements in electric circuits.these reactive elements also offer resistance in the circuit termed as reactancefor inductor it is wL (-j)for capacitor i is 1/wC (j)where L,C and w are inductance , capacitance and frequency of the AC source respectivelywhen clubbed with resistance the the resultant of the resistance and reactance gives us the impedance of a circuitif the impeadence(R=0) of the circuit is of inductor only then these are called as purely inductive circuitsif the impedence of the circuit is dominated by inductor ( wL > 1/wC ) even though the circuit has resistance and capacitor then these circuits are called inductive circuits
Why inductor does not work in DC source?
It does work on d.c., but it really depends on what you want it to do!
What happens when current flows through inductor?
When current flows through an inductor, a magnetic field is created. That's the simple explanation. More formally, an inductor is a magnetic device that reactively resists a change in current by presenting a voltage backwards towards the source. The equation for an inductor is ... di/dt = v/L ... which means the the rate of change in current in amperes per second is proportional to voltage in volts and inversely proportional to inductance in henrys. Theoretically, this means that, if you place a constant voltage across an inductor, current will linearly increase without bounds to infinity. Practically, this will be limited by resistance and current capacity.
Does an inductor blocks AC?
An inductor blocks AC while allowing DC because it resists a change in current. The equation of an inductor is ...di/dt = V/L... meaning that the rate of change of current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to inductance.If you apply DC across an inductor, it will stabilize to some current flow based on the maximum current available from the current / voltage source. In this mode, the inductor presents very low resistance, so it can be said that it allows DC to pass.If, however, you apply AC across an inductor, you need to consider its inductive reactance by integrating the above equation in terms of the circuit conditions. The equation for inductive reactance is ...XL = 2 pi F L... meaning that the inductive reactance is proportional to the frequency and to the inductance.Thus, the higher the frequency, the higher the reactance. Since reactance is a phasor measure of resistance, it can be thus said that an inductor will block AC.
