Concept Overview:
1. Capacitance increases as the distance between plates decreases.
2. Capacitance increases when a dielectric material is involved.
3. Potential increases as distance between capacitor plates is increased. (see optional equipment and tasks)
Lecturer Procedure
Step(s) to Follow | Expected Result |
---|---|
1. Adjust movable plate by turning knob. 2. Note changes on the LCR meter | Capacitance increases as the plates get closer together |
1. Insert dielectric materials, one at a time into the capacitor. 2. Note changes on the LCR meter | Capacitance will increase as the materials are added. Different materials will create a different capacitance. |
