A simple technique (Figure 1) can measure small capacitance, such as the capacitance of a scope probe (Figure 3a), a 10-pF capacitor (Figure 3b), and a pc-board trace (Figure 3c). The idea is to use a ...

Variable current will generate inductance, capacitance, and their related properties of inductive and capacitive reactance. Although there's no energy loss that directly results from these properties, ...
