EEVblog #1117 - PCB Power Plane Capacitance
Why people recommend it
This EEVblog measurement of capacitance between PCB power planes is cited in layout and decoupling discussions, and it sits within a wider playlist on board design.
Watch for: Effect varies with layer count and board thickness
In their words
My question is inspired by this video where capacitance on the order of nanofarads up to 1MHz was measured between power and ground on a 4 layer PCB.

I was watching this video (EEVblog #1117 - PCB Power Plane Capacitance) where the author analyses the impedance curve of the capacitance formed between a PCB's power planes.
