Parallel Plate Capacitor
Type of activity: demo
Activity code: E-003e
Description:
|
Connect ring-terminal to banana cables to the capacitance meter and zero the reading. (use the 200pF or the 2000pF range). Connect the ring terminals to the parallel plates and observe the reading as the distance between the plates are changed. Optional: Insert dielectrics such as books and plexiglas. |
