ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A capacitor comprising at least two electrodes separated from one another by an elastic dielectric formed of rubber and/or plastic for measuring forces acting upon one of the ¦ electrodes -- the so-called measuring electrode -- by detecting the resultant change in capacitance. The dielectric in its un- loaded state is pre-compressed and preferably possesses a number of hollow spaces. A method is also disclosed for measuring forces randomly occurring as a function of time as well as locally within n predetermined surface wherein the forces arc applied to a measuring electrode of a capacitor containing an elastomeric dielectric. The measuring electrode corresponds to the pre- determined surface. There is then recorded the change in capacitance of the capacitor and which capacitance change corresponds to the course as a function of time of the action of the force.
