What is a LCR Meter?
A LCR meter is a device that is used to test the electrical impedance of a piece of equipment. In operation, it is capable of identifying the measurement of an object’s resistance to steady electrical current. This is most helpful when dealing with alternating current (AC). It will determine the relative change in magnitude of the repetitive variations of the voltage and current known as amplitudes. Inductance is one of the major properties which a LCR meter will test. Inductance is a change in the flow of current through a circuit and some device such as a resistor prevents that change. This is called electromotive force. Because electrical currents produce magnetic fields that reduce the rate of change in the current, the LCR will measure the ratio of magnetic flux. An LCR will also measure the ability for an object to continue to hold an electrical charge. This is known as capacitance. The meter can test the amount of charge stored at a specific point known as electric potential. Ty
