In this part of the lab you will be given 3 di erent capacitors, jumping wires, a breadboard, a multimeter and a capacimeter. You will investigate how capacitors behave in series and parallel and how voltages are distributed in capacitor circuits. With the given materials, complete the following tasks:
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.
To do this experiment, you will need the following: Large-value capacitors are required for this experiment to produce time constants slow enough to track with a voltmeter and stopwatch. CAUTION: Be warned that most large capacitors are of the electrolytic type, and they are polarity sensitive!
Using the Capacimeter, measure the capacitance of each of the three capacitors given. Connect them in series using the breadboards which have connectivity between all sets of ve holes (at a minimum). Measure the e ective capacitance of this combination. Repeat this for a parallel con guration.
This experiment features an RC circuit, which is one of the simplest circuits that uses a capacitor. You will study this circuit and ways to change its effective capacitance by combining capacitors in series and parallel arrangements. A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a small distance.
Calculate the charge on each capacitor (integrate the current through appropriate resistors as in Experiment 1) and then calculate the capacitance of each capacitor using the formula: C = Q/V, where Q is the charge and V is the voltage. The voltage across the combination of these capacitors is 3.3V. Calculate the total charge on the combination and then use the formula for equivalent capacitance: C_eq = Q_total / V_combination.
