Its typically not possible (especially with a homemade capacitor) to make perfect contact between the foil and a solid dielectric material. This will have the effect of increasing D as well as reducing the effective Er. So, the real capacitance will probably be less than calculated above. USE A WET DIELECTRIC Using a wet dielectric allows the dielectric to …
Step 1: Gather the Materials You will need the following materials to create your capacitor: – Aluminum foil – A plastic sheet or wax paper – A pair of scissors or a utility knife – Insulating tape (such as electrical tape) – Some wire for connecting the capacitor to other components Step 2: Cut the Foil and Plastic Sheet
The dielectric material varies. Paper, plastic, oil, ceramic, resin or epoxy and air are all materials used as a dielectric in a capacitor. In this experiment you will learn how to make a simple capacitor and to test the capacitor in a circuit. The results are then compared to test results of a commercially produced capacitor.
If you want to make a capacitor for a hobby project, and you need it to have specific capacitance, odds are you will need more capacitance than a few picofarads. In order to get more capacitance, look at the formula from before: -Make the dielectric constant larger: Pick a new material that will give you a better result.
First prepare the foils for the Inner and Outer cylinder (which will act as parallel sheets of the capacitor). Draw two rectangles of width 35mm & Length equals to the circumference of the inner and outer cylinders, then cut them out. As the aluminum sheet being only 20 Micron, it will be quite fragile so we will add a layer of paper to support it.
To make a variable capacitor we need to vary some parameters upon which the capacitance depends, as we saw in the previous step the capacitance value depends on the area and the distance been the parallel plates. We will change the area of interaction of two parallel plates to vary the capacitance.
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.

1. Set the voltmeter to measure DC voltage and connect one lead to each tab and read the output. Note: Output voltage should be near input voltage.See figure above for example. Note: If the output is not near to your input voltage, there is probably a short in the capacitor spect carefully to make sure there is not, but if there is a short, detach the capacitor and try to find …

For a given capacitor, the ratio of the charge stored in the capacitor to the voltage difference between the plates of the capacitor always remains the same. Capacitance is determined by the geometry of the capacitor and the materials that it is made from. For a parallel-plate capacitor with nothing between its plates, the capacitance is given by
