A capacitor meter measures the value of a capacitor in pf (picofarads), nf (nanofarads), uf (microfarads) or even farads. There are a million uf in a farad, 1000 nf in a uf, and 1000 pf in a nf. A farad is a very large amount of capacity. The capacity tells you how much energy the capacitor can store from a voltage source.

What is the difference between capacitance and stray capacitance?

Capacitance is an ability to store an electric charge. "If we consider two same conductors as capacitor,the capacitance will be small even the conductors are close together for long time." this effect is called Stray Capacitance.


What is pn junction capacitance?

The charge inside of a p-n diode with a connected voltage variety yields a capacitance is need to add circuit model of a p-n diode. The capacitance connected with the charge variety in the exhaustion layer is known as the intersection capacitance, in the same process capacitance connected with the abundance bearers in the semi impartial district is known as the dissemination capacitance.


When was Capacitance Electronic Disc created?

Capacitance Electronic Disc was created in 1981.


What is meant by transition and space charge capacitance of a diode?

space charge region in a diode or say a bjt for better understanding is same as the depletion region, both transition capacitance and depletion capacitance are the same c= (epsilon*A)/d ; where ... c is capacitance A is area and d is the depletion width the other type of capacitance is the diffusion capacitance c= (T*I)/(n*V) where ... c is the capacitance T is transition ti me I is the drift current n is emission coefficient ... its value is 1 for germanium and V is thermal voltage .. 26mv

What are the methods to find capacitance of a capacitor?

You could measure it with a Capacitance meter. Or you could use the formula:In a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance is directly proportional to the surface area of the conductor plates and inversely proportional to the separation distance between the plates. If the charges on the plates are +q and −q, and V gives the voltage between the plates, then the capacitance C is given byFor further info on the total value of capacitance in series or parallel, Google it.

What is the difference between self capacitance and mutual capacitance in the context of capacitive touch technology?

Self capacitance refers to the capacitance between the touch sensor and the ground, while mutual capacitance refers to the capacitance between two different touch sensors. In capacitive touch technology, self capacitance is used for single-touch detection, while mutual capacitance is used for multi-touch detection.
