Dielectrics in Capacitors
[M | t+ | ★★★]
Parallel plate capacitor and capacitance meter with insertable dielectrics.
[In-Depth Description]
Temperature Dependance of Permittivity
[S/M | t+ | —]
Liquid dielectrics in parallel plate capacitor are heated to demonstrate temperature effects.
Thermoelectric Effect
[S/M | t+ | —]
Thermocouple junction produces EMF with enough current compliance to energize an electromagnet.
Skin Depth
[M | t | ★★]
KISS (108 MHz) electromagnetic waves penetrate aluminum box while HDH (680 KHz) waves don't.
[In-Depth Description]
Exploding Capacitor
[M | t+ | —]
Electrolytic capacitor connected with reversed polarity to a far too large voltage source.
