Return to Capacitance

Parallel Plate Capacitors 2.gif

Description:

Capacitance can be varied by changing the interacting areas of the two plates. Two half circle plates can be adjusted to change to change the capacitance as measured by a capacitance meter.

Also available are multiple plate variable capacitors where one application was being used in radio tuner circuits.

Location:

  • Plates: Shelf I-2
  • Radio tuners: Drawer 89
  • Capacitance meter in Meter Drawer
