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

Discussion The possible identity of the unknown organisms in the mixed culture was limited to bacteria that we had worked with previously in lab. Initially a Gram stain was conducted in order to distinguish the unknown bacterium as a Gram-positive and/or a Gram-negative organism (Lancaster and Bennett‚ 2012; Kellenberger‚ 2001). Based upon the results‚ both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were observed in the unknown mixed culture (Table 1 and Table 2; Kellenberger‚ 2001). In order

Electrostatics Electrostatics is a part of physics is that the study and analysis of electricity‚ its properties and its applications. Electrostatics was discovered when an ancient Greek philosopher named Thales. In 600 B.C.‚ Thales learned that when he rubbed amber with fur‚ it would start to attract other lightweight objects such as feathers and dust which is now known as a process called triboelectrification. This is also how we got the word electricity‚ which comes from the Greek word‚ elektron

Experiment 9: THE TANGENT GALVANOMETER; PURPOSE: In this experiment we will measure the magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth’s Magnetic field by the use of an instrument called a tangent galvanometer. INTRODUCTION: A tangent galvanometer consists of a number of turns of copper wire wound on a hoop. At the center of the hoop a compass is mounted. When a direct current flows through the wires‚ a magnetic field is induced in the space surrounding the loops of

Abstract- The development of De-Sauty’s bridge for capacitance measurement has been followed by various modifications and improvements in the original circuit. Lately Schering bridge and transformer ratio arm bridge have been used for measurement of capacitance in a circuit.Today there is instrumentation available that makes use of these bridges in real life such as that can measure the quality of electrical insulation at power frequency as well as in touch-sensitive sensors.

Measurement of Capacitance using Arduino – An Interrupt-based Approach: Part I SAIKAT PATRA‚ SHIBENDU MAHATA Introduction Capacitive sensors are widely employed to measure various physical and chemical process parameters such as displacement‚ acceleration‚ thickness‚ force‚ pressure‚ stress‚ level‚ and humidity. The measured value of capacitance is then calibrated in terms of the process parameter for indication and/or control applications. This project presents an interrupt-based approach by
