5C 10.20 - Parallel Plate Capacitor:

Demonstrates: Capacitance.

Description: A charge can be put onto the plates by using the electroplaus. The charge is then registered by the meter. Changing the distance between the plates changes the charge.

5C 20.10 - Capacitor with Dielectric Sheet:

Demonstrates: Insulators.

Description: A non-conducting material is placed between the two plates to decrease potential.

5C 20.30 - Leyden Jar:

Demonstrates: Principles of capacitors.

Description: Stores a charge from an electrostatic generator.

5C 30.20 - Big Bang:

Demonstrates: Stored energy.

Description: Energy is stored in a bank of capacitors. When suddenly discharged a big bang occurs.
