Capacitor Lab: PhET Simulation Learning Goals: Students will use a simulation to study the properties of capacitors. This simulation uses the equations we developed in class to calculate the properties of the system. It ignores the small period of time between adjusting a parameter and ElectroStatic Equilibrium (ES EQ) being established. That is ok because we are only interested in 1what happens after the electrons stop owing from one plate to the other. https:ffphet.colorado.edw'simsa'cheerpir'capacitorlabflatesti'capacitor-lab.html Copy the link above into your browser. (I used Chrome.) It takes a while to load. Please be patient. You should see a capacitor (two metal plates) connected to a batter}r in a space with blue background color. At the top of this space you should see three tabs that read: "Introthlction", "[Ilii::lei:t:|:ie\"= \"Multiple Capacitors" Preparation: 4* Click on the "Dielectric" tab at the top. Make sure all the check boxes on the right side of the screen are checked. 'L Choose "Glass" as the dielectric material (from the drop down menu on the right}. Kgxs: 4-7 4* Adjust the plate separation to its minimum value of 5 [mm]. and the plate area to its maximum value of 400 [mmAZ] by clicking and dragging the double-sided arrows. Place the tip of the red probe of the 1iJoltmeter on the top plate= and the tip of the black probe onthe lower plate. Make sure the batter]? is connected and adjust the battery voltage slider UP to +1.5 [V]. The Voltmeter should read "+1-5 VII s
