VIDEO: Capacitance Measurements Using Various Test Instruments
Capacitance is measured using a multimeter, LCR meter and oscilloscope. Ordinarily, capacitors are provided with the metrics – capacitance and working volts – printed or color-coded on the component. The capacitance as labeled is generally accurate to a reasonable tolerance. For most applications a wide range of values will perform as expected. As for working […]
