Abstract: A simple, low cost instrument that measures impedance and phase angle was used along with a parallel-plate capacitance system to estimate the moisture content (MC) of six types of wheat.

The concept of capacitance is fundamental in electronics, representing a component's ability to store electrical energy in an electric field. Among the various types of capacitors, the parallel plate ...
