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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Let's start with DC voltage, one of the simplest and most-used multimeter measurements. The DC voltage measurement is used to determine the difference in electrical potential between two points in a ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

The capacitance of a classical conductor is determined solely by its geometry. When charged, the electrons distribute in space in a manner that minimizes their electrostatic energy. Quantum mechanics ...
