Question

Variable parallel plate Capacitor-Dielectric Constant/ Capacitors in series and parallel VARIABLE PARALLEL PLATE CAPACITOR-DIELECTRIC CONSTANT/CAPACITORS IN SERIES AND PARALLEL Note: Absolutely NO liquids should be used or consumed during this lab. Any liquid in the room should be in a container with a closed/sealed top. It is VERY important that you review the videos before developing a hypothesis. Determine the voltage across and charge stored in each capacitor in series, parallel and Objective: combination circuits electric field. Capacitors are Theory: Capacitors are electronic components that stores energy in an characterized by their capacitance which is measured by in farads (F). The higher the capacitance of the capacitor is the higher the ability to store energy. The capacitance of a capacitor can be found by using the following equatiorn where c is capacitance q is charge v is voltage seen across the capacitor. Capacitors can be combined. When they are combined the total capacitance of the combination can be found based on the combinations.If capacitors are in series (one after the other), they have the same charge across their plates and the total capacitance is can be found by using the following equation If capacitors are in parallel (connected to each other at both ends), they have the same voltage across them and the total capacitance can be found by using the following equation
