A simple capacitor is the parallel plate capacitor, represented in Figure 1. The plates have an area A and are separated by a distance d with a dielectric ( ) in between. The plates carry charges +Q and Q, respectively, on their surfaces. The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is given by
Capacitors are devices in which electric charges can be stored. In fact, any object in which electrons can be stripped and separated acts as a capacitor. Capacitance is the ability of an object to store electric charge. Practical capacitors are made of two conducting surfaces separated by an insulating layer, called a dielectric.

We will also use a parallel plate apparatus to investigate its capacitance with di erent plate spacings, and types of dielectrics. In this part of the lab you will be given 3 di erent capacitors, jumping wires, a breadboard, a multimeter and a capacimeter.
There are many di erent types of capacitors: tubular, mica, variable, and electrolytic to name a few. A simple capacitor is the parallel plate capacitor, represented in Figure 1. The plates have an area A and are separated by a distance d with a dielectric ( ) in between. The plates carry charges +Q and Q, respectively, on their surfaces.
