D. Capacitor plate separation changed, while remaining connected to a Battery. Grab the Separation arrow (vertical green) and pull it up so that d = 10.0 mm. 1. Calculate the capacitance based on physical dimensions: C= E. A / d c. = 8.85E-12 The area is given in "mm?", convert this to A = m?. d= m. C= F (scientific) = PF. (3 significant figures for C) 2. Calculate the top plate charge, Q = C (scientific) = PC. The battery maintains 1.5 V on the plates. (3 significant figures for Q) 3. Calculate the field: use V = Ed, E = V/m. 4. Calculate the energy: PE = = J (scientific) = PJ. (3 significant figures for PE) E. Capacitor plate separation changed, while disconnected from the Battery. Grab the Separation arrow (vertical green) and move the separation back to d = 6.0 mm. This gets us back to case C. It puts a charge on the plates that equals the value in C2. Write this here, Q = C (sci notation). Move the switch to the off position (pivot to the right). The plates maintain their charge and voltage. Increase the separation to d = 10.0 mm. 1. Calculate the capacitance based on physical dimensions: C = E. A / d e. = 8.85E-12 The is the same as case D1. C= F (scientific) = PF. (3 significant figures for C) 2. But the voltage changes, while Q remains the same as it was at d = 6 mm. Calculate V from Q = CV, V=|V. 3. Calculate the field: use V = Ed, E = V/m. 4. Calculate the energy: PE = J (scientific) = pJ. Is this result similar to Example 17-12, p.487? Yes/No. (3 significant figures for PE)RC Circuit PhET Interactive Simulations (colorado.edu)_ Capacitor Lab Basics. Open the simulation, and click on the Capacitance box. We need to set up the capacitor-battery circuit, do calculations, and verify them according to the simulation's data. 'l. {a Start by checking all the boxes above the circuit, and those to the upper-right. Notice the switch directly above the capacitor, grab it and pivot it to the off position (which rotates it straight up). Now grab the battery slider, and move it fully upwards to 1.5 V. There will be no charge on the capacitor plates. Close the switch by pivoting t0 the left. Immediately the plates have opposite charges, and eld lines are shown (out from +, and in towards -. Meaning vertical arrows pointing down. Next grab the meter, place it as is shown, and put its red probe on the + plate, and black probe on the plate. It indicates 1.500 V, as it should. Note red wires go to + and black to charges or terminals (such as a car battery). Doing the above steps leaves you as is shown in the gure. The lecture gave us parallel plate capacitor equations, and prexes as well. Let's list them: V=Ed Q=CV C=coA/dc0=8.85E-12 PE=1/2
