ABSTRACT

In present life electronics gadgets plays an important role in our daily life, From
cell phones to smart watches and also medical appliances, everything needs a
precise elements to work efficiently. The basis on which these devices rely is of
resistance , capacitance and inductance. These components are base of electronics
and there measurement is compulsory important. Keeping all these things in our
mind we are decided to make a project which measures Inductance and capacitance
& frequency using a microcontroller as a central peripheral. A display device is
also added to make the project digitally easy to read.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

This is one of the most accurate and simplest LC inductance / capacitance Meters that one can
find, yet one that you can easily build himself. This LC Meter allows to measure incredibly small
inductances starting from 10nH to 1000nH, 1uH to 1000uH, 1mH to 100mH and capacitance
from 0.1pF up to 900nF. LC Meter's circuit uses an auto ranging system so that way you do not
need to spend time selecting ranges manually. Another neat function is reset switch that will
reset the initial inductance / capacitance, making sure that the final readings of the LC Meter are
as accurate as possible.

PRINCIPLE

To be able to determine the value of an unknown inductor / capacitor we can use the
frequency formula given below .Note that there are three variables that we can work
with; f, L and C (f represents a frequency, L inductance and C capacitance). If we
know the values of the two variables we may calculate the value of the third variable.
Lets say we want to determine the value of an unknown inductor with X inductance. We
plug X inductance into the formula and we also use value of a known capacitor. Using
this data we can calculate the frequency. Once we know the frequency we can use the
power of the algebra and rewrite the above formula to solve for L (inductance). This
time we will use the calculated frequency and a value of a known capacitor to calculate
the inductance. Isn't this amazing? We just calculated the value of unknown inductor,
and we may use the same technique to solve for the unknown capacitance and even
frequency.
