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!
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 😂

2:08 This is why I am here
I totally agree! Tool pen is a hundred times better than a screwdriver.
Absolutely!
that resistor is is better
does a capacitor need to be charged to check it on the meter?
Very detailed how to 😊 ... until the very end 😢
"Before you've watched this video and while you have absolutely no information to judge by, please hit that like button" ???
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?

I know it's late but a capacitor generates current in the opposite direction to the direction it's charged
For a microwave with power disconnected can you use a multimeter to test the diode in situ without disconnecting or discharging the capacitor ?
For safety reason you must always discharge the capacitor
be extremely careful with microwaves, microwave transformers are the object that is the most fatal to hobbyist electricians.
How can you discharge a cap in a circuit
How do u discharge a capacitor from welding machine ?
I thought only electrolytic capacitors had positive and negative leads. ???
Tantalum caps are also polarized.
Please make a vid how to change AC to DC please i need that
Not sure if you still need this but you need a full bridge rectifier circuit which pretty much consists of 4 diodes
I’d look up a diagram online
Can you make a compilation about capacitor explosion?
One time I discharged a capacitor of huge capacitance with a screwdriver. It was terrified for me to see sparks.
Our mistakes make us better

I bought a camera capacitor discharge tool at Amazon .
blablabla take old heating bulb, attach two wires - and you have discharging unit.
how many ko is the pen?
100k is ok
just take old bulb with heater lead. Its not about R, its about having resistor that can withstand surge.
