1. Safety instructions

Caution: the capacitor plates are not electrically

isolated. Voltages may be present which are

dangerous to the touch.

• When working with voltages which may be

dangerous if you come into contact with

them, you should make sure to take the ap-

propriate safety measures.

• Do not touch the device during the experi-

ment.

• For voltages which are referenced to

ground, apply the reference potential to the

movable capacitor plate.

• Avoid voltage arcs between the plates.

In schools and educational institutions, opera-

tion of the device must be monitored by a

trained supervisor.

2. Description

The plate capacitor is designed for investigating the

relationship between charge and voltage, for quanti-

tative measurement of capacitance as a function of

the plate separation, measurement of dielectric ε

and for accurately determining the permittivity of

free space (electric field constant) ε

The apparatus features one fixed and one mov-

able plate. The latter can be along with its guide

block (10) by any distance between 0 and

160 mm and can be further adjusted by between

0 and 20 mm by means of a fine adjustment

screw (1). The display of an electronic measuring

unit shows the distance between the two capaci-

tor plates. The displayed value can be configured

to zero at any point along the path of travel and

will then display the distance of the moveable

plate from this new zero point. The separation

between the plates can be read off to an accu-
