first you need a analog multimeter. put in your meter in the ohm section x10. then remove the cap in the ckt and discharge that. then connect the multimeter -ve probe to the cap +ve terminal and connect the other terminals.the needle comes to low value then com to infinity, remove the probs then connect multimeters -ve prob to the cap -ve terminal that time look carefully the meter's needle comes to the one value and go back to the infinity that the low value is capacitors equivalent resistance value. the cap is 1000uf the equivalent resistance value is around 15 at x10 .the cap is 100uf the equivalent resistance value is around 15 at x100

∙ 8y agoCapacitors are tested by different ways .
1.Test a Capacitor with an Ohmmeter of a Multimeter
2.Test a Capacitor with a Multimeter in the Capacitance Setting
3.Test a Capacitor with a Voltmeter

How are capacitors rated?
Capacitors are rated in Microfarads
What is the principle of operation of gang capacitors?
Gang capacitors are a series of capacitors that are mounted to a common location. When they are mounted in series, they can be controlled by a single switch instead of multiple ones.
Which type of dielectric is used most often in variable capacitors?
The type of dielectric most often used in variable capacitors is air. Also, trimmer capacitors often use mica.
Why are capacitors cylindrical?
Capacitors are cylindrical to limit the capacitors physical size. Capacitors are basically two conducting sheets with an insulating sheet between them, this means that the way to make them more compact is to roll them up and hence this gives the cylindrical shape. Another Answer Capacitors are not necessarily cylindrical. Those that are, are manufactured by winding the two plates and the dielectric, swiss-roll style.
How capacitors are arranged?
Capacitors are one of the standard components in electronic circuits. Moreover, complicated combinations of capacitors often occur in practical circuits. It is, therefore, useful to have a set of rules for finding the equivalent capacitance of some general arrangement of capacitors. It turns out that we can always find the equivalent capacitance by repeated application oftwosimple rules. These rules related to capacitors connected in series and in parallel.
Are capacitors polarity sensitive?
The capacitors those are polarity sensitive are called electrolytic and tantalum capacitors. These capacitors are labeled as positive and negative.
How are capacitors rated?
Capacitors are rated in Microfarads
What is the difference between electrolytic capacitors and normal capacitors?
because normal capacitors does not have any polaririties.
Whether film capacitors can be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitor?
Film capacitors cannot be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitors if used for analog signal processing. However, mica capacitors can be replaced with ceramic capacitors in general.
How can you stop Television from humming?
Replaced capacitors that are no lomger capacitors.
What is the population of Nokian Capacitors?
Nokian Capacitors's population is 290.
When was Nokian Capacitors created?
Nokian Capacitors was created in 1957.
Why do capacitors leak?
Mostly the leakage of capacitors is due to the resistor.
Where are capacitors located?
Capacitors are generally located in Electrical & Electronic Equipments..
Screen goes black on Samsung 40 in LCD TV for a few seconds and then goes back on?
This is a common problem for all LCD screen TV. LCD Screen Goes black after a few seconds of turning ON. repeat ... and still the same. You have a faulty inverter causing the back light of the LCD not functioning. Check for a bloated capacitor on the power supply and inverter circuit board. This capacitors can be seen visually by looking the top of the capacitors. If it is not flat these capacitors might be the problem. If you tested it with a multi tester it is OK, but if the TV is power on , capacitors is no longer working as normal. try replacing the bloated capacitors. Also, there are some capacitors that may have causing the problem. Try to replace the high voltage capacitors (light blue in color) located in the inverter circuit board. replaced all $ or 5 pcs capacitor. usually the value are 12pf by 3KV and 4.7KV by 3KV. Goodluck. !! Benjie Ramos (Philippines)
Can you use 50volts 3300uf capacitors instead of 25volts 3300uf capacitors?
Yes.
How many capacitors are use in a circuit?
Capacitors store charge. There are many applications for their use. There is no set amount of capacitors in a circuit since it is application dependent.
