Used with a DMM on the 20V range, this circuit gives a rapid and direct measure of the leakage current of capacitors. There are two ranges, with maximum readings of about 20µA and 2mA, and the test ...
Essentially, every capacitor comes with a free resistor and inductor (at the very least). Loosely termed the parasitics, these elements affect capacitor performance, causing real values to depart from ...
