Capacitor lab Worksheet

Write a summary of o1.5 page with a single spaced . Below I am providing few additional information . 

OBJECTIVE

In this lab exercise, we will examine the performance of a capacitor in a simple electric circuit. We will make use of an online PhET simulation to make adjustments and observe the basic behavior of a capacitor.

You will examine the effect of changing the voltage across a capacitor; the plate area and separation distance on the capacitance; charges on plates and electric field between plates. 

You will examine the effect of changing the plates area and separation distance of a capacitor on the voltage across the plates, charges on plates and electric field between plates.

  • You will examine discharging of a capacitor through a light bulb. 
  • Please see the other related information and videos on canvas. Below I am attaching the lab data and points to include in summary .
