You can use a multimeter with capacitance-measurement capability to measure the length of wire or cable to an open circuit. The capacitance of a pair of wires (or a wire to a shield) is directly ...

If you need to measure capacitance but don’t have the necessary meter, you may be able to build a circuit that can handle the task. For example, if you have a data-acquisition board or module that ...

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 ...

Connect a capacitor in series with a resistor to form a RC circuit. The input to this circuit will be the charge and discharge pins, and the voltage will be monitored via the comparator pin. The ...

If you are just starting out in electronics, you need tools. But it is hard to build all your tools. Even though we see a lot of soldering station builds, you really ought to have a soldering iron to ...

The Inductance Capacitance Meter is a project developed to provide a simple and accurate solution for measuring the inductance of inductors and the capacitance of capacitors. The device uses an ...

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 ...
