      Same reason why dislikes have been disabled on all videos now. If I can't see how many people dislike the video, how can I trust it?

    does a capacitor need to be charged to check it on the meter?

    At 2:43, it shows the + lead of the DMM attached to the - lead of the capacitor and the - lead of the DMM attached to the + lead of the capacitor. This appears to be a polarized capacitor since the graphic of the capacitor has the stripe (with the - ) indicating which lead is negative. This appears to indicate the DMM is incorrectly connected to the capacitor. Am I misunderstanding how this works? Thank you in advance!

      I know it's late but a capacitor generates current in the opposite direction to the direction it's charged

    If you ask me to like a video before the video even begins, I will automatically dislike it. This video made me feel very satisfied with that policy the longer it went.. I'm halfway through and it stop hasn't gotten to the point..

    Hi, what is that adapter you used to plug that cap into your meter, thanks?

    I totally agree! Tool pen is a hundred times better than a screwdriver.

    For a microwave with power disconnected can you use a multimeter to test the diode in situ without disconnecting or discharging the capacitor ?

      For safety reason you must always discharge the capacitor

      be extremely careful with microwaves, microwave transformers are the object that is the most fatal to hobbyist electricians.

    I thought only electrolytic capacitors had positive and negative leads. ???

      just take old bulb with heater lead. Its not about R, its about having resistor that can withstand surge.

    Can you make a compilation about capacitor explosion?

    blablabla take old heating bulb, attach two wires - and you have discharging unit.

    Screwdriver method cheaper and easier

    One time I discharged a capacitor of huge capacitance with a screwdriver. It was terrified for me to see sparks.

      I will forever start reading the label of the capacitor and check their listed voltages, if they are around three digits long or longer, I will never ever touch that thing ever again 😂
