Objectives: 1. To study the capacitance varies with the separation between the plates 2. To study the capacitance varies with the area of the plates 3. To study the dielectric effects on the stored charge, energy, and voltage between the plates of the capacitor, when it is connected or disconnected from the battery Theoretical Background : When a capacitor is connected to an EMF (E), the plates attain charge from the terminals of the battery. The amount of charge is governed by the geometry of the capacitor. For a parallel plate capacitor, the capacitance is given by C =K A d where A is the effective plate area (the area effectively overlapping dis separation of the plates & is
