Date: 25th March‚ 2010 Title: Investigating the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor using a reed switch Objective: To investigate the factors which affect the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor using a reed switch. Apparatus: - reed switch - signal generator - capacitor plates of area about 0.24m X 0.24 m 1 pair - polythene spacers ( 10 X 10 X 1 mm ) - polythene sheet‚ same area as capacitor plate 1 mm thick - battery box with 4 cells

have a neutral charge. Neutrons are also one amu like protons. Neutrons can move from the nucleus of an atom making an atom an isotope. The neutron symbol is . Electrons are located outside the nucleus in energy levels. Electrons have a negative charge and weigh approximately 1/2000th of an amu. The weight is almost insignificant. Electrons can vary in an atom making cations and anions. Cations are a positive charge when an atom loses an electron. Anions are a negative charge when an atom gains

The 3 Pin Plug The three pin plug is the most commonly used and one of the most important devise we use every day. Although it is an simple devise it is the most impotent part of any electrical object we use. And as we are getting more and more dependent on technology the plug is becoming increasingly important in our lives.

air to mask the electric field and demonstrated that electric fields could deflect cathode rays. Having shown that the rays were made up of negatively charged particles‚ he procedded to use their combined electric and magnetic fields to find the charge in mass ratio(e/m) of the particles‚ which did not vary from one cathode material to another. In april 1897‚ he relealed this discovery of

400 BC Democritus: He hypothesized that all matter (plus space and time) is composed of tiny indestructible units‚ called atoms. Democritus performed no experiments. 1 .All matter consists of invisible particles called atoms. 2. Atoms are indestructible. 3. Atoms are solid but invisible. 4. Atoms are homogenous. 5. Atoms differ in size‚ shape‚ mass‚ position‚ and arrangement. ->Solids are made of small‚ pointy atoms. ->Liquids are made of large‚ round atoms. ->Oils are made of very fine

A negative charge because when it is negatively charged electrons are added to the penny. 17. What is the voltage at the location of a 0.0001 C charge that has an electric potential energy of 0.5 J (both voltage and potential relative to the same reference point)? Potential = energy Charge = 0.5 J / 0.0001 C = 5‚000 V 20. Is it correct to say that energy from a car battery

Abstract In this experiment‚ the Ksp for calcium sulfate dihydrate‚ CaSO4·2H2O‚ by titrating 4 times a calcium sulfate dihydrate solution with diprotic EDTA‚ H2(EDTA)2-. For each trial we found the Ksp by means of molarities and activities. The results for the Ksp using only molarities was very different than the Ksp using activities. The average Ksp using molarity only was 2.26 x 10-4 and the average Ksp using activity turned out to be 2.31 x 10-5. The actual Ksp however‚ is 3.14 x 10-5. A percent
