Re: Electrolytic Capacitors brief correction

And I should have said try a larger R2, not R1 (which you can
not change). Also, if you have a very high impedance voltmeter,
try to follow the self-discharging of your capacitor. You will get
a curve which is piece-wise exponential. This will give you the
values of R1 at different d.o.p.
