Analysis of Capacitors Lab Online Name_______________________________________________ Course/Section_______________________________________ Instructor____________________________________________ Table 1 (25 points) Voltage _________ Area (mm 2 ) Separation (mm) Capacitance (F) Charge (C) Run 1 Run 2 Run 3 Run 4 Run 5 Run 6 Run 7 1. In the theory section you are provided two different equations to calculate the capacitance of a capacitor. Using your data for each run calculate it both ways to see that they both give the same results. Show all work. (10 points) 2. How does changing the applied voltage for a parallel-plate capacitor affect the values of the charge, Q, and capacitance, C? You must explain your answer in terms of the ratio, Q V . ( HINT: You can actually see what happens in the simulator by increasing or decreasing the voltage from the battery ) (10 points) 1
Table 2 (25 points) Separation _________ Plate Area____________ Voltage (V) Charge (C) Run 1 Run 2 Run 3 Run 4 Run 5 Run 6 Run 7 3. Using Excel or another graphing software, plot Voltage vs Charge. Add the trendline to the graph. What is the value of the slope of the trendline? Turn in your graph with this worksheet. (10 points) 4. What is the SI unit of the slope? What physical quantity does the slope of the graph represent? (5 points) 5. Either manually calculate or have the software tell you the area under the curve. Either way, make sure it is written on the graph AND written in the space below. (10 points) 2
