6 FAQs about [Capacitor three-point circuit experiment diagram]
How do you calculate the capacitance of a capacitor?
Calculate the charge on each capacitor (integrate the current through appropriate resistors as in Experiment 1) and then calculate the capacitance of each capacitor using the formula: C = Q/V, where Q is the charge and V is the voltage. The voltage across the combination of these capacitors is 3.3V. Calculate the total charge on the combination and then use the formula for equivalent capacitance: C_eq = Q_total / V_combination.
