Measuring impedance (Z)
All circuit components, resistors, capacitors, and inductors have parasitic
components. These include, for example, unwanted resistance in capacitors,
unwanted capacitance in inductors, and unwanted inductance in resistors. Thus,
simple components should be modeled as complex impedances.
Set up your LCR meter to measure impedance as shown in
