Plate capacitor Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-ES-12918
The plate capacitor apparatus by Educational Instrument helps teachers demonstrate the working principle of a parallel plate capacitor. It is used to explain how two conducting plates separated by an insulating gap can store electric charge when connected to a suitable educational power or electrostatic source.
This apparatus supports practical lessons on capacitance, potential difference, dielectric effect and electric field strength. The exact capacitance value, plate material, plate diameter, adjustment mechanism, dimensions and supplied accessories should be confirmed before publishing the final catalogue specification.
Key Features
Demonstrates capacitance: Shows how electric charge is stored between two conducting plates.
Supports electrostatics experiments: Useful for lessons on electric fields, potential difference and charge distribution.
Parallel plate teaching model: Helps students connect capacitor theory with a visible physical apparatus.
Suitable for physics labs: Designed for supervised school, college and STEM laboratory demonstrations.
Dielectric study support: Can be used for dielectric demonstrations if compatible insulating sheets are supplied or specified.
Reusable classroom apparatus: Intended for repeated practical use with correct handling and storage.
Safe instructional use: Suitable for educational low-energy demonstrations, not industrial high-voltage testing.

How to Use the Plate Capacitor
Place the plate capacitor apparatus on a dry, stable and insulated laboratory bench.
Check that the plates, terminals and support parts are clean and undamaged.
Connect the plates to the recommended educational power supply or electrostatics source.
Apply voltage gradually as per the teacher’s experiment procedure.
Observe or measure the change in capacitance, potential difference or charge storage using compatible lab instruments.
If dielectric sheets are supplied, insert them only as instructed and compare the result.
Switch off the supply and discharge the plates safely before handling the apparatus.
Safety note: Use the plate capacitor apparatus only under trained teacher or laboratory supervision. Do not connect it to mains electricity or uncontrolled high-voltage sources.
Care & Maintenance
Keep the conducting plates clean, dry and free from dust, oil or corrosion.
Store the apparatus in a dry cabinet away from moisture and corrosive chemicals.
Inspect terminals, leads and insulation before each experiment.
Always discharge the plates fully before cleaning, moving or storing the apparatus.
