Abstract

In this paper various capacitors are exposed to different levels of humidity. Under humid conditions, the capacitances of various capacitors vary due to the absorption of moisture. The effects of humidity are determined on the capacitance of various capacitors. A decrease in capacitances of various capacitors is observed.
