Measure a capacitor using an oscilloscope

In my last article, I showed how to measure an inductor using a known capacitor. This method could be used to measure a capacitor using a known inductor. This post will demonstrate a better and more accurate way to measure a capacitor using an oscilloscope. Usually, a capacitor's value is …


Measure an inductance or capacitance using an oscilloscope

Resistors, inductors, and capacitors are passive components used in every electronic circuit. Usually, the value is marked on the resistor or capacitor, either as a color code or a number. Often, inductors have no markings, especially those with a ferrite core or an air core. To measure their value, professionals …
