How to Test Capacitors with and without using Multimeter

In this video, I go through some of the basic functions of a Digital Multimeter,
1. How to measure Capacitance (F) of different types of capacitors by using Digital Multimeter.
2. Do and Don't for measuring the capacitance.
3. How to test a Capacitor by using Digital Multimeter.
4. How to test Capacitors without using any Digital Multimeter.
5. How to identify the good and bad Capacitors.

    Excellent video, however i disagree with 2 things. 1. 20% deviation really should be replaced. It is on its way towards failing. 10% deviation is the normal acceptance. 2. Do not ever use your fingers to cross the leads in order to discharge capacitors. Other than those to things. This is a good video and helps people out. Keep up the good work.!
