I would do that but I wouldn't have a way to connect the leads to the newly made plates. Also, I have a variety of sample sizes, so one plate size/shape would not fit all. Keep in mind, the samples are tiny, areas of about 25 mm2 and the area of the plates on the test fixture is 3180 mm2.
Hi,
My setup for measuring parallel plate capacitance consists of an LCR meter and a parallel plate test fixture. The area of the parallel plates is much larger than the area of the samples I am measuring. From what I've seen in literature, and my physics classes, the sample area should be...
