Plate capacitor, d 260mm

Function and Applications

High accuracy capacitor for electrostatic experiments, e. g. to investigate the relation between charge, voltage and capacity on a plate capacitor, to measure the dielectric constant and for precise determination of the electrostatic induction constant.
