Document Content and Description Below

1 Objective and Theory For this lab, our objective was to essentially measure the amount of force that it took to generate the same force as a varying array of masses. The objective of this lab is t... o calculate ε0 by using a known voltage, cross-sectional area, and separation distance from plates. We use a laser beam and the constant force of gravity in order to ensure that we know the correct force that this specific voltage is exerting on the capacitor plates. The theory behind all of this involved Coulomb’s law, with the force equal to the charges, which in this case was currents, and the distance. 2 Set-Up [Show More]
