Title: Parallel Plate Capacitor
PIRA: 5C 10.20

Demonstrates: Capacitance.
Description: A charge can be put onto the plates by using the electrophorus. The charge is then detected using an electrostatic voltmeter. Changing the distance between the plates changes the voltage.

Instructions: Use electorphorous or VDG to charge one side of capacitor, open or close plate distance to decrease increase voltage

Items Used: Large capicitor plates, voltmeter, electrophorous or VDG, camera for projection to large class

Notes: Meter can be projected with the video camera. Math Description: None.

Size: 14 Condition: Good. Hazard: None.
