Hey guys, new member here. I've been trying to put together a homemade capacitor and I'm just having no luck whatsoever, and I have no idea why. I've followed the same instructions I found online at various websites, but when I check the voltage across the capacitor after disconnecting the 9v battery, it shows no voltage.
I've used heavy duty aluminum foil for thr plates. I've tried using paper, a freezer bag and wax paper for the dielectric with no avail. Can someone give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
