Description:
Demonstrates capacitance components.
Equipment:
1. Orange capacitors board
Procedure:
1. Show and explain.
A device consisting essentially of two conducting surfaces separated by an insulating material or dielectric such as air, paper, mica, glass, plastic film, or oil. A capacitor stores electrical energy, blocks the flow of direct current, and permits the flow of alternating current to a degree dependent upon the capacitance and the frequency.
