5C20.10  CAPACITOR WITH DIELECTRICS



  • Version 1
  • An electrometer shows the change in voltage as various dielectric materials are inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor.
  • Use a high voltage supply to charge the capacitor plates.


  • Version 2
  • An electrostatic voltmeter shows the change in voltage as various dielectric materials are inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor.
  • Charge the fixed plate only.
  • A video camera may be needed in a large classroom.
