Concept Overview:
Dielectrics withstand high electric fields in a capacitor
Lecturer Procedure
| Step(s) to Follow | Expected Result |
|---|---|
| With NO dielectric in capacitor, turn on Van der Graaf | There will be much discharging between the capacitor plates |
| Insert dielectric material and repeat | The discharging will decrease dramatically |
Alternately: You can put a USB camera facing downward facing into the capacitor and only insert a dielectric into half the capacitor to show discharge on one half, but not the half with the dielectric
