Parasitic inductance of capacitors
I.e. the reference plane of the measuring device is right at the terminals of the DUT (the capacitor). In this case we now still see some parasitic inductance, but where does it originate from? Is it simply the portion of the loop that is comprised of the geometric properties of my cap? Looking forward to see some discussion here, cheers ;)

6 FAQs about [Which year did capacitors originate from ]
What is the history of capacitors?
The history of capacitors starts in the pioneering days of electricity. I liken it to the pioneering days of aviation when you made your own planes out of wood and canvas and struggled to leap into the air, not understanding enough about aerodynamics to know how to stay there. Electricity had a similar period.
What is a capacitor & how does it work?
A capacitor is a device for temporarily storing electric charge. What is considered to be the very first capacitor was called the Leyden jar, which was invented by Pieter van Musschenbroek in 1746 at the University of Leyden (or Leiden) in Holland. It was a glass jar wrapped inside and out by a thin metal foil.
How did capacitor technology evolve in the 20th century?
These innovations paved the way for the development of capacitors with higher energy storage capabilities. The 20th century witnessed significant progress in capacitor technology. One crucial development was the invention of the electrolytic capacitor by Warren de la Rue in 1866.
Are capacitors still used today?
One fun thing about the early history of capacitors is that they have a very DIY feel to them, many having been homemade. In fact, Leyden jars are still used today by high-voltage hackers, as in this 3D printed Wimshurst machine and for pure fun as in this Leyden jar of doom.
Why are capacitors called capacitors?
Capacitors are often given names to suit their applications eg: Condenser, the name used for capacitors in circuits up to the 1950's. Radio antennas, can exhibit capacitance (also inductance and resistance) at certain frequencies.
Who invented the electrolytic capacitor?
These were used in large telephone exchanges to reduce relay noise. The patent for the electrolytic capacitor’s modern ancestor was filed in 1925 by Samual Ruben. He sandwiched a gel-like electrolyte between the oxide coated anode and the second plate, a metal foil, eliminating the need for a water filled container.
