# What Capacitor Measurements Mean

[Electronics Weekly](http://www.electronicsweekly.com) has invited Dale Cigoy of [Keithley Instruments](http://www.keithley.com) to talk about how [capacitors](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor "Capacitor definitions on Wikipedia") work. Since capacitors are part of almost any Electronic circuit or project, it is a good idea to understand these basic components a little more. The article is titled "[Seeing how capacitors work is invaluable](https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/design/test-and-measurement-2/seeing-how-capacitors-work-is-invaluable-says-keithley-2010-10/ "Capacitor measurements with Keithley")."
