Sliding Capacitors Plates

Plates a distance apart
PIRA: 5C10.30

Materials: Sliding Capacitor Plates, Battery, Alligator Clips, Multimeter

This demo is to show how distance between plates changes capacitance. This can be done by setting up a battery to the plates and changing the distance of the plates. Then you can take the class and use math to find capacitance then measuring it with the multimeter.
