An old Electronics Designer’s Casebook described a circuit that provided capacitance measurements of 10 pF to 1 µF with 1% accuracy (Reference 1). A number of issues emerged with the circuit during ...

A capacitor measured with a $100 handheld multi-meter can give a substantially different result than the same capacitor measured with a $10,000 LCR meter. That same capacitor measured with two ...

Have you ever found the need to measure the capacitance of a capacitor? No multimeter handy (for shame)? Well, as it turns out you can actually measure capacitance using your Arduino Uno, with no ...

ABB has announced the development of a portable capacitance meter, the CB-2000, that is simpler to use and easier to carry than any other measuring devices previously available. ABB has announced the ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

The Fnirsi LC1020E LCR meter is an affordable yet powerful tool for measuring resistance, capacitance, and inductance with high accuracy.

Mark Persons shares why a multimeter is his go-to instrument for initially figuring out what is going on or going wrong in a ...
