Figure 1 is a sample circuit which can be configured to measure the applied voltage and current draw of a capacitor. Before applying any voltage to a capacitor, always test it for any shorts.

It is used to test electrical components such as diodes and capacitors. A multimeter has a dial surrounded by several symbols that identify electrical values.

[James] designed a set of circuit boards that enabled him to place different types of capacitors at various distances along a set of PCB traces.
