Product Description
This Plate Capacitor (Condensateur à plaques) is an instrument for electrostatic analysis. It allows characterization of capacitance, electric field permittivity, and charge storage. It is used for verifying Gauss’s Law and investigating dielectric properties in physics laboratories and technical training environments. Note: this listing appears very similar to STEMAids’ ‘Plan Capacitor and Dielectrics’ listing — please confirm with STEMAids whether this is the basic plate capacitor without a dielectrics kit, or the same product.
