Procedure

  • Connect the capacitor between IN1 and Ground.
  • Click on “Capacitance on IN1” . Should not touch the capacitor while measuring

Discussion

We have used 100~pF capacitors in this activity.

You can make the capacitors by pasting thin metal foils on both sides of insulators like paper, polythene or glass.
