Capacitor Basics : 1. Go to the following website: https ://phet .colorado .edu /sims /html /capacitor -lab - basics /latest /capacitor -lab - basics_en . ht 2. Click Capacitance on the PHeT simulation. 3. SET the battery Voltage to 1.5 V, CHECK the Top Plate Charge and Stored Energy boxes in the upper left, CHECK Plate Charges and Bar Graphs boxes in the upper right and connect the Voltmeter to the plates so your display resembles the graph below. Capacitance 0.50 pF Plate Charges Top Plate Charge 0.69 PC Bar Graphs Stored Energy 0108 pJ O Cedric Fluid Current Direction LOV Voltage 1.500 V 4. Use the simulation to complete the table below .
