For a capacitors are electronic the capacitance depends on the physical and geometrical proprieties of the device. It is given operationally by the ratio of the charge Q stored in the device and the voltage difference across the device ΔV. The schematic symbol of a capacitor is two parallel lines which represent the capacitor plates.
Introduction Doing some simple experiments, including making and measuring your own capacitor, will help you better understand the phenomenon of capacitance.
So large, in fact, that most capacitance measurements use microFarads ( F), nano (nF), and picoFarads (pF) as their unit of measure. The capacitance of a capacitor lled with a dielectric is given by C = C0, where C0 = Q= V0 is the capacitance in the absence of the dielectric, and is the dielectric constant.
But you can calculate this capacitance. If the plates are not too far apart, the demonstration capacitor can be correctly modeled as a parallel plate capacitor, which obeys the equation: C = (εoA)/d Use this equation to calculate the capacitance of the demonstration capacitor. Show your work on the worksheet.
