Hi,
How can I measure the capacitance of a capacitor, using the following:
a battery,
a digital voltmeter (which records voltage as a function of time),
a digital ammeter (which records current as a function of time),
an industrial capacitor,
two copper plates,
and several bits of copper wire.
I know that the capacitance is how much charge can be held between the two plates of a capacitor, but I never really needed to look into a way of doing it manually using single components.
I also have to construct a second capacitor from the copper plates, whose capacitance equals that of the industrial capacitor.
If you could help me with a bit of information on that, I would highly appreciate it.
Thank you
