Description

Demonstrate the fundamentals of capacitance with this variable plate capacitor, designed for physics and physical science instruction. The apparatus features two 8 inch (20 cm) aluminum plates mounted on a grooved acrylic base, allowing students to clearly observe how plate separation affects capacitor behavior. Plate spacing can be adjusted from 0 to 6 inches (15 cm), and the integrated metric scale makes setup and comparison quick and repeatable. Each plate includes a rear 4 mm terminal for simple connection to classroom power supplies, meters, and related lab equipment. Built for hands-on electrostatics and electricity demonstrations, this unit is a useful tool for exploring parallel plate capacitor principles in the lab or classroom.
