Experiment: Electric Field in a Plate Capacitor (115 V 50/60 Hz)

Product Overview

Objective: Measure the electric field in a plate capacitor using the electric field meter The electric field meter can be used to measure the electric field within a plate capacitor directly. In this experiment a rotating sectored disc interrupts the electrostatic flux falling on an induction plate which forms part of a capacitor plate. The voltage pulses that are thereby generated are amplified to give an output voltage which is then rectified to give a DC voltage that is proportional to the electric field E acting on the induction plate.
