Day 13

Our design to create a variable Capacitor. as the plates come closer together the capacitance raises.

This is a basic overview of capacitors that most should remember from physics 4b as well as some circuit syntax.

 Here are some equations of note to use when considering capacitors, power , and energy held in them, however there is very little use in this information concerning this class.

These are the graphs of voltage and current over time for a capacitor, or at least a rough estimation of it.

as Capacitors reach capacitance they act like open circuits so we write them as such and then we can solve for the voltage across them and after tat we can find the energy stored in them.

Here we are running these graphs of voltage across a simple rc circuit and hoping to produce the currents on the left.


 Here's a video of Mason blowing up a capacitor by running current in the wrong direction. or some of it, the video was rather long so it might not be there.
THis is an overview of the day by introducing the differences between capacitors and inductors, This is perhaps the most important picture of the day as all the equations that will be used on the home work and celebration.
