Plate capacitor, d = 260mm

Function and Application

The parallel plate capacitor is suitable for electrostatics experiments, e.g. for investigating the relationship between charge, voltage and capacitance, and for measuring dielectric constants.

Benefits

• Precision parallel plate capacitor with one highly insulated fixed plate and one movable plate
• Adjustable plate spacing via spindle drive with vernier scale for accurate measurements
• Large plate diameter for clearly measurable capacitance and electric field strength effects

Technical Specification

• Plate spacing: 0–70 mm
• Adjustment accuracy: 0.1 mm
• Plate diameter: 260 mm
• Plate thickness: 6 mm
