How to discharge a capacitor - Electronics Tutorial For Beginners
In this video, I will show you how to discharge a capacitor. There are two methods for discharging capacitors. One is a highly safe method using a discharge tool, while in the second method, we will use a screwdriver to discharge the capacitor.

Is it possible to show how to discharge a capacitor while on PCB

[@Tobi-zd4du]

2:08 This is why I am here

[@Wil_Bloodworth]

At 2:43, it shows the + lead of the DMM attached to the - lead of the capacitor and the - lead of the DMM attached to the + lead of the capacitor. This appears to be a polarized capacitor since the graphic of the capacitor has the stripe (with the - ) indicating which lead is negative. This appears to indicate the DMM is incorrectly connected to the capacitor. Am I misunderstanding how this works? Thank you in advance!

[@jjohnson67sg]

does a capacitor need to be charged to check it on the meter?

[@mikeharrington5593]

For a microwave with power disconnected can you use a multimeter to test the diode in situ without disconnecting or discharging the capacitor ?

[@kyomuapashi3850]

For safety reason you must always discharge the capacitor

[@haggisllama2630]

be extremely careful with microwaves, microwave transformers are the object that is the most fatal to hobbyist electricians.

[@milanjovic1127]

I totally agree! Tool pen is a hundred times better than a screwdriver.

[@ElectroUniversity]

Absolutely!

[@cotto887]

that resistor is is better

How can you discharge a cap in a circuit

[@Tobi-zd4du]

Can you make a compilation about capacitor explosion?

[@efan120wms7]

Please make a vid how to change AC to DC please i need that

[@michaelpogrebitskiy6122]

Not sure if you still need this but you need a full bridge rectifier circuit which pretty much consists of 4 diodes

[@michaelpogrebitskiy6122]

I’d look up a diagram online

[@OysterPir8]

I thought only electrolytic capacitors had positive and negative leads. ???

[@dragoscodita4634]

Tantalum caps are also polarized.

[@outfield1988]

I bought a camera capacitor discharge tool at Amazon .

[@lornelorne5727]

"Before you've watched this video and while you have absolutely no information to judge by, please hit that like button" ???

[@REXXSEVEN_II]

Same reason why dislikes have been disabled on all videos now. If I can't see how many people dislike the video, how can I trust it?

[@aleksandarkostic4615]

One time I discharged a capacitor of huge capacitance with a screwdriver. It was terrified for me to see sparks.

[@ElectroUniversity]

Our mistakes make us better

[@Cryptic141]

I will forever start reading the label of the capacitor and check their listed voltages, if they are around three digits long or longer, I will never ever touch that thing ever again 😂

[@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH]

blablabla take old heating bulb, attach two wires - and you have discharging unit.

[@HandsomeBastard]

I just found out about the capacitor...after I took the microwave apart 😂

[@viisteist1363]

how many ko is the pen?

[@fixlab3047]

100k is ok

[@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH]

just take old bulb with heater lead. Its not about R, its about having resistor that can withstand surge.
