Topics covered:

- Tension / Potential

- Charge / Electric Field

- Electrostatic Induction

- Electrostatic Induction Constant

- Capacitance / Capacitor

- Dielectric


Principles and objectives:
Metal spheres of different radii and a spherical capacitor are charged using a variable voltage. The induced charges are determined using a measuring amplifier. The corresponding capacitances are derived from the voltage and charge values.
The different tasks proposed are:
- Determination of the capacitance of three metal spheres of different diameters.
- Determination of the capacitance of a spherical capacitor.
- Determination of the diameters of each test object and calculation of their capacitance values.

Comments:
Provides a high voltage that is not dangerous. Several conducting spheres included. Clever investment: The included universal measuring amplifier can also be used for other applications.
