In this experiment you will study a parallel plate capacitor and determine the dielectric constant for paper. A capacitor is an electric device that stores charge. Capacitors come in many forms, but the easiest to visualize is the parallel plate capacitor. A parallel plate capacitor consists of two metal sheets of area A placed a distance d apart.
Capacitors can still retain charge after power is removed which could cause an electric shock. These should be fully discharged and removed after a few minutes. A student investigates the relationship between the potential difference and the time it takes to discharge a capacitor. They obtain the following results:

In the experiment, our capacitor is similar to an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, except instead of using borax paste for the dielectric, we used a sheet of wax paper. Our capacitor uses the two aluminum foil squares to store positive and negative charges. The charge on the capacitor is proportional to the voltage across the capacitor. This is

A capacitor is an arrangement of objects that, by virtue of their geometry, can store energy an electric field. Various real capacitors are shown in Figure 18.29. They are usually made from conducting plates or sheets that are separated by an insulating material. They can be flat or rolled up or have other geometries. Figure 18.29 Some typical capacitors.

The English scientist Henry Cavendish (1731–1810) determined the factors affecting capacitance. The capacitance (C) of a parallel plate capacitor isdirectly proportional to the area (A) of one plate; inversely proportional to the separation (d) between the plates; directly proportional to the dielectric constant (κ, the Greek letter kappa) of the material between the plates

This process is commonly called 'charging' the capacitor. The current through the capacitor results in the separation of electric charge within the capacitor, which develops an electric field between the plates of the capacitor, equivalently, developing a voltage difference between the plates.
