Stray capacitance -- how to calculate formula....

[michael1978]

Hello,
i am reading one book over the "tenichians radio receiver handbook", but there was a stray capacitance

can somebody help me, how to calculate stray capacitance?
of what arethe standard value of stray capacitance

thanks.

YES do you see the circuits
the stray capacitance is 7pf and 320pf main and trimmer 21pf

Can you please give more details of which stray capacitance you require? For instance, is it the capacitance of a coil, or wiring, or that of a tube.

yes do you see i edit look the circuits, me i don't understand how come in 7pf cstray i don't have ideathnx

Hello @michael1978

Stray capacitance is "extra" capacitance that usually can not be exactly calculated. It is the sum of the capacitance of the coil, of what the circuit is connected to (maybe a transistor or a vacuum tube), and the capacitance of the wires and of the components to other nearby things. The capacitance of the coil can be indirectly measured, of a transistor or tube can be found in the datasheet, of a wire can be not-very-well calculated (for an example see: https://www.emisoftware.com/calculator/wire-over-ground-plane-capacitance/ ). A wire with plastic insulation laying flat on a metal chassis has a capacitance of 1 to 2 picofarads per centimeter of length.
