ECE220 (Electrostatics) |

We designed and built two capacitors based on the parallel
plate model: one consisting of two parallel disks separated
by paper; and another consisting of many dielectric
and conducting layers.
We were able to achieve capacitances
of 1.21nF and 61.7nF respectively. Modifying our
dielectric by adding "Inductor Oil" further increased
each roughly by a factor of 2 to 2.15nF and 121.8nF.
Our results confirmed the predicted C = E*A/d. |
