Parallel-plate capacitor
Parallel-plate capacitor that can be taken apart to demonstrate how capacitance depends on plate separation, plate area and the dielectric.
A demonstration device for electrostatics consisting of 4 components: an aluminium capacitor plate, a plastic dielectric plate, a stand-holder and a base. Designed for 5 demonstrations: the dependence of the capacitor charge on the potential difference, the dependence of the capacitance on the distance between the plates and on the area of overlap between them, the effect of the dielectric on the capacitance and the use of the device as a charging plate to generate static electricity.
- 1.Aluminum plate (capacitor electrode) - 2 pcs.
