FIGURE 2-3 Inductance meter.
Capacitance Meter
The preceding inductance meter also measures the value of a capacitor. But there
are also some digital volt-ohmeters that can measure capacitance. Variable
,
capacitors come in a variety of values, such as maximum capacitances of 140 pF,
270 pF, 365 pF, and 500 pF. Often they are unmarked, and thus a capacitance
meter is needed to determine their values (Figure 2-4).
