AI Customer ServiceBut you can calculate this capacitance. If the plates are not too far apart, the demonstration capacitor can be correctly modeled as a parallel plate capacitor, which obeys the equation: C = (εoA)/d Use this equation to calculate the capacitance of the demonstration capacitor. Show your work on the worksheet.
The demonstration capacitor consists of two conductive discs, approximately 18 cm in diameter, mounted on a base. One disc is fixed to the base, the other disc is attached to a support which can be moved to change the spacing between the discs. Terminals are provided so that electrical connections can be made to the discs. 1.
When we connect a DC voltage source across the capacitor, one plate is connected to the positive end (plate I) and the other to the negative end (plate II). When the potential of the battery is applied across the capacitor, plate I become positive with respect to plate II.
The capacitor has a moving and a stationary plate, both 260mm in diameter. The stationary plate is separated from the frame by an insulator, preserving its electric charge. The moving plate is connected to the base, and moves using a micrometer screw. You can adjust the spacing from 0 to 70mm, reading the distance precisely to 0.1mm.
Introduction Doing some simple experiments, including making and measuring your own capacitor, will help you better understand the phenomenon of capacitance.
If these plates are connected to a load, the current flows to the load from Plate I to Plate II until all the charges are dissipated from both plates. This time span is known as the discharging time of the capacitor. How Do You Determine the Value of Capacitance?
