Now capacitors are measured in terms of capacitance (C). The unit of capacitance is Farad (F). There are a few ways that you can measure the capacitance of any given capacitor. For all the methods, the first rule is to please discharge your capacitor fully. Else you may harm yourself or can completely damage your testing device.
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
Depending on the sophistication of the meter, it may display the capacitance only, or it may also measure a number of other parameters such as leakage, equivalent series resistance (ESR), and inductance. For most purposes and in most cases the capacitor must be disconnected from circuit; ESR can usually be measured in circuit.
A capacitance meter is a piece of electronic test equipment used to measure capacitance, mainly of discrete capacitors. Depending on the sophistication of the meter, it may display the capacitance only, or it may also measure a number of other parameters such as leakage, equivalent series resistance (ESR), and inductance.
Take the capacitor in the other hand (it is better is place it on the table if the capacitor is big) and touch the metal part of the screwdriver to both the terminals of the capacitor. You will see sparks and hear some crackling sound as an indication of electric discharge.
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. So, if we find these Q and V values we can actually calculate the capacitance value of the given capacitor.

Helpful Tips on Measuring Capacitors
Measuring a capacitor in series or parallel mode can provide different results. How the results differ can depend on the quality of the device, but the thing to keep in mind is that the capacitor''s measured value most closely represents its effective value when the more suitable equivalent circuit, series or parallel, is used.

Capacitor Characteristics
It is common for capacitor run, or capacitor start, capacitors to have a nominal value within a range, and have tolerances of up to +/-10% since they are cheaply made. Single phase electric motors generally need a start capacitor to energise a second phase winding for motor starting for a very short period of time. Start capacitors therefore have larger capacitance values than the …

Semiconductor Capacitance Measurement: An Overview
Capacitance versus voltage (CV) is an important measurement in parametric test. Only CV measurements can reveal several crucial process parameters. If the silicon is held at ground and a negative voltage is applied to the gate, the MOS capacitor will begin to store positive charge at the silicon surface.
