How to Measure Capacitance and Resistance Using a Multimeter

In the video I demonstrate how to use a multimeter to find the resistance of a resistor and the capacitance of a capacitor using a multimeter. In the video, test two different types of capacitors and two resistors resistors

By far the best video I've found on this! You're the best!!!

[@stevesharts5419]

3:39 The capacitance of Clyde Lettsome is 1.838 nanoFarads. Thanks for the great video! Thumbs up!

[@pianotunesbymichael3168]

Thank you so muchh, you helped me realize that I'm supposed to plug the probe to the plugs with "CX" (Mine is between COM and the 200mA), before I watched this video, plugged it on COM and the Voltage Ohm plug. Thank you so muchh.

Thanks,I was trying to find out how on my new voltmeter since yesterday

[@pbsalyid5323]

Brilliant!! Thanks for sharing..

[@bobbarcus8310]

thanks for the lesson

[@FansSports]

Thanks good info!

[@RosssRoyce]

Thanks, friend! I was messed up because i was trying to measure 220uf capacitor with my meter that supports only up to 200uf :D

[@HiGrrr]

great video thank you !

Thanks Mr. Lettsome for good explanation. Is there by any chance can you please make a video of how to measure the same Capacitance and Resistance using Digital Bench Multimeter.

[@umargul5644]

Well done

Thank you.

SAY CAPACITANCE ONE MORE TIME....... ONE MORE FKING TIME !!!

[@TelecomTraining]

Thank you so much. Very good explanation. I am looking for a Capacitance meter to measure copper wire capacitance on DSL lines for one of my training videos on my youtube channel. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks...

Can you test the capacitors while they are still soldered on a board if its not a powered up board say Like you remove a tv board from a tv and just have it on a table no charge through it in anyway can you just test touching the 2 solder points?

[@furulevi]

On a 4700uF capacitor my Capacitance meter measures only 16uF, on a 6800uF it measures around 9uF. These capacitors are bad??
(Other capacitors are measured correctly)

[@CALettsomePhDPE]

Thank you for asking. Please check the user's manual for the device. Check the range of capacitance the meter can measure. That would be my best suggestion.

[@martinmalinov2614]

Can you tell me ,how to measure safety capacitor X1:400V Y1:250V 102M

[@SDsailor7]

If the multimeter does not have a way to measure capacitance can I still measure capacitance?Excellent video, very informativeCheers,Rob

[@bobbarcus8310]

+Rob Hernandez No But you can buy a capacitor metor on ebay for $10 or $15.00

[@SDsailor7]

+Bob Barcus Thank you Bob i think i will.Cheers

Good Day. We'd like to have your permission to use your video of How to Measure Capacitance and Resistance Using a Multimeter. We would like to use it as one of our resources for our thesis. Thank you and hoping for your response. :)

You need a capacitance meter for that type of capacitors

[@MyBigThing2010]

7:36 you CAN have negative capacitance! ...what he meant to say was "negative resistance" ...don't believe me..go hook up VCC + Source to the "-" of an electrolytic cap and hook up the other leg of the capacitor to ground...make sure to hold it close to your face without safety glasses on so you can clearly see what happens when you apply power to that configuration! XDDD
....if you seriously did that...you are working very hard for your Darwin Award...I'm sure he's proud you're proving his hypothesis correct.

[@olimpickid_pr3016]

What if a ceramic capacitor is burnt?

[@jdblaich]

How about one where the capacitor says 3300uf but your meter only goes to 2000uf?

[@stevesharts5419]

You have to do the tongue test. You charge the capacitor and then apply the capacitor to your tongue. A really really big spark and a lot of pain means you are close to the 3300 uf range.

[@xzy7196]

@@stevesharts5419 Yeah, I will believe what it says.

[@lordmonk5]

Is that a fluke meter?

[@MyBigThing2010]

Swagg Nificent no lol

[@dedskin1]

its capacitive reactance meter , its good to know , Cuz capacitive reactanse is not Capacitence . Its a property of capacitor taht can be faulty. Tahts why DMMs have a label " not suitable for leaky caps" So you first need to check is it a good cap. Start with understanding that DMMs cant measure capacitance , they measure capacitive reactance only and calculate capacitance

[@bridgetkesling5523]

MyBigThing2010 You are a fucking idiot. Capacitive reactance is exactly what he is talking about. www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-RC.htm
