Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and method for measuring humidity of an object to be dried in a dryer. The apparatus for measuring the humidity for the dryer includes a capacitance measuring sensor configured to measure an amount of capacitance change that is changed due to humidity of an object to be dried, which is put into the dryer; a shield configured to shield noise generated in the dryer; and a processor electrically connected to the capacitance measuring sensor and the shield, wherein the processor is configured to apply a second signal having the same waveform and the same voltage to the capacitance measuring sensor and the shield and acquire the amount of capacitance change, based on the first signal output from the capacitance measuring sensor so as to measure an amount of humidity change of the object to be dried.
