J4-32 DISCHARGE OF CAPACITOR WITH BANG
Additional Info
- ID Code: J4-32
- Purpose: Demonstrates that capacitors store electrical energy
- Description: A 3500 microfarad capacitor is charged to 100 volts using the battery pack. Touch the capacitor terminals to the copper contacts on the battery pack; check that the polarity is correct, this is an electrolytic capacitor. Discharging the capacitor with the large screwdriver produces a very loud BANG.
- Availability: Available
- Loc codes: J4
- Videos-1: Demonstration video on YouTube
