Electrical Engineering Asked on December 27, 2020
What is a ferrite bead? How is it different from an inductor? How is it rated? What are its important parameters? What allows me to chose between an inductor or ferrite bead to filter out frequencies that are greater than 8kHz in a signal with a current in milli amps?(The signals here i’m referring are input and output signals of a DC/DC Converter)
Very good resource to understand ferrite bead is here. https://resources.altium.com/p/how-do-ferrite-beads-work-and-how-do-you-choose-right-one

Here's a fairly generic picture of a ferrite bead: -
Ferrite beads tend to be useful from 10 MHz onwards. At 8 kHz they are generally useless.

Ferrite beads have uses in EMI filtering/minimisation, so that's generally in the 10s of MHz & beyond, and in radio. Commonly spec'd as "Ohms @ X freq", e.g. "60ohms @ 100MHz". Often paired with decoupling caps. In their simplest form they're literally a lump of ferrite circling a wire - hence "bead", though there's more complicated physical arrangement these days now too.
To filter the frequencies you're talking about, you'd almost certainly be looking for an "inductor" along with carefully chosen caps & resistors.
Yes, this is a fairly vague answer to a very general question :)
