There are several multimeters which allow you to find out the pF of a capacitor, at least paper and ceramic types. You may want to look up YouTube videos that show you how to use a multimeter to determine the capacitance.
Again, it is dependent on the capacitor we are talking about. Sometimes they are rated and have a data sheet, sometimes a test bench may be required to perform things.

The reactance of a capacitor is proportional to?
inverse of frequencyAnswerReactance is inversely-proportional to frequency of the supply, and the capacitance of the capacitor.
How does the size of an electrolyte capacitor vary with its capacitance value?
A: Capacitance vary directly with the area applied the bigger the area the bigger the capacitor. There is another element that will increase the size that is the rating of the capacitor voltage since more material will have to be used to insulate the plates
An ideal voltage source will charge an ideal capacitor?
An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value for its capacitance.
What is inductance and capacitance and impedence?
The inductance of an inductor is the capacity of the inductor to induce electric flux. The capacitance of a capacitor is the capacity of the capacitor to store charges. THE IMPEDANCE OF A CIRCUIT IS THE TOTAL OPPOSITION OFFERED TO THE FLOW OF ELECTRIC CURRENT.
What is parasilic capacitor?
a parasilic capacitor is a natural capacitance that occurs in all things this is noticeable in incandescent lamps by when you turn the lamp on there is a small delay for it to turn it on
What two facctors determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor?
The reactance of a capacitor is a function of -- the capacitance of the capacitor -- the frequency of the voltage across the capacitor
What two factors determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor?
capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the capacitance of the capacitor and frequency of the AC line reactance (in ohms) = 1/(capacitance * frequency)
How are the terms capacitor and capacitance related?
Capacitor is the name of the device and capacitance is a measure of farads in the capacitor. Capacitance is the capacity for storing charge in the capacitor as measured in farads, micro farads or millifarads.
What will the affect of capacitance of a capacitor when a conductor is placed between a capacitor?
capacitance will tend to zero
What means by the name capacitance of a capacitor?
The capacitor is an electronic device. Capacitance is the energy stored within this device.
What is the difference between capacitor and capacitance?
A capacitor is a device that stores an electrical charge, or if you prefer- resists any change in voltage applied to it. Capacitance is a measure of the size or ability of a capacitor to do that. This is the Farad
What is a capacitor analyzer designed to read?
Capacitor voltage
WHAT ARE THE APPLICATION OF CAPACITIVE TRANSDUCERS?
Capacitive sensors are used mainly to detect proximity, usually that of people. The operating principle is that the capacitance of the capacitor varies as material comes between the two plates of the capacitor, and you can determine the presence of something via the measurement of the capacitance.
What is the ratio of capacitance of capacitors?
ratio of capacitance of capacitor is given by charge\potential
What is the difference betbeen capacitor and condensor?
A: Both nomenclature are indicator of capacitance it can be used both ways. However the predominate usage is capacitor since it resemble capacitance
Capacitance is the property of an electrical circuit that?
A capacitor resists a change in voltage, proportional to current, and inversely proportional to capacitance. The equation of a capacitor is dv/dt = i/c.
What is the total capacitance of three 30 micro-farad capacitors connected in parallel?
The equivalent capacitance of a 30uF capacitor in parallel with a 20uF capacitor is 50uF.
