The smallest capacitors (made from ceramic, film, or tantalum) use units of picofarads (pF), equal to 10-12 farads. Larger capacitors (the cylindrical aluminum electrolyte type or the double-layer type) use units of microfarads (uF or µF), equal to 10-6 farads. A capacitor may overrule this by adding a unit after it (p for picofarad, n for nanofarad, or u for microfarad).

As you know, a capacitor has two terminals, and we measure capacitors in terms of capacitance. Capacitance (C) is the ability of a capacitor to store energy. The unit of capacitance is Farad. Let’s see some fundamental mathematics of capacitance. You can see that capacitance is the ratio of total charge and the voltage applied across the capacitor.
Following are the steps using which we can measure the capacitance of the capacitor using a digital multimeter. See the results on the display. The values may start from low and gradually increase. Take the highest value. 3. Using a capacitance meter
Let’s start with our first method, the visual method. This method is the easiest and most effective way to measure the capacitance value of any given capacitor. Follow the below easy steps for an electrolytic capacitor: On the body, you will find the written capacitance value for rated maximum voltage and tolerance. It is that simple.
For a complete test of the capacitor, the measuring lines must be applied twice and the reaction of both processes must be compared: On the display of the digital multimeter, a measured value should now be shown for a fraction of a second that you have to remember. The measurement display will then immediately jump to OL (Open Line).
The reading should be in microfarads (µF). If you get a reading in farads, you can simply divide the reading by 1,000,000 to get the equivalent capacitance in microfarads. For example, a reading of 1 farads would be the same as a reading of 0.000001 microfarads.
