parasitic coil capacitance from frequency
Sweeping a coil with generator measured a coils voltage peaking at ~30.7Mhz and dipping at ~14Mhz - its inductance is ~4mH.
Does this mean its parasitic capacitance is 6.71 fempto farads?Last edited by Zak28; 13th July 2019 at 02:15.

Re: parasitic coil capacitance from frequency
Can't be answered without knowing the complete measurement circuit.

Re: parasitic coil capacitance from frequency
Another way is to apply fast rising edge step voltage and measure the ringing.

Re: parasitic coil capacitance from frequency
Parasitic coil capacitance refers to parallel capacitance, I presume. Thus you are looking for the parallel resonance of the unloaded coil. The best approach for unloaded resonance measurement is a weakly coupled grid dip meter or an equivalent setup.
The fact that your measurement shows two resonances makes clear that your setup isn't a simple LC parallel circuit but some kind of LCC or LLC circuit. And most likely parasitic parameters of the measurement setup are falsifying the original resonance frequency.
