What is a Capacitance Meter?Capacitance Meter DefinitionA capacitance meter is a device used to measure the capacitance of discrete capacitors.Working PrincipleIt operates based on the proportional relationship between capacitance and a time constant.Measurement MethodCapacitance is measured using a 555 timer by calculating the time period of oscillations.Role of 555 TimerThe 555 timer acts as an astable multivibrator, with its frequency determined by the unknown capacitance (CX).Practical UsePr
