j4-42a

  • ID Code: J4-42
  • Purpose: Demonstrate the voltage/charge/capacitance relationships in series and parallel capacitor circuits.
  • Description: A commercial bank of four identical capacitors can be connected in various series and/or parallel combinations and charged using an attached battery. The digital voltmeter is used to probe the voltage on any individual or group of capacitors and displayed for the class using a TV camera and video projector in the lecture halls (monitor in smaller classrooms).
