    This document provides instructions for an activity to make a capacitor and understand how capacitance works. The objectives are to learn about capacitors, how they work, and what factors affect capacitance. Students will cut aluminum foil and paper to specific sizes, attach the foil to paper with wires to create capacitors, and use a multimeter to calculate capacitance. They will then answer questions about capacitors and capacitance and provide a real-life example and illustration of how a capacitor works.

    ACTIVITY NO. __
    Make Your Capacitor

    Capacitor
    Capacitor is a device that stores energy of electrical charges.
    Capacitance
    Capacitance is the amount of energy that can be stored in a capacitor.

    OBJECTIVES:
    • To learn the concept of capacitors,
    • To understand how a capacitor works,
    • Differentiate the capacitance thought the sizes and distance.

    MATERIALS:

    Paper Aluminum Foil


    Wire Paste
    Tape Multimeter

    Procedure

    1. Cut four square pieces of aluminum foil. One pair


    has 4x4 inches while the other pair has 6x6.
    2. Cut a paper that is 3x bigger than the piece of
    aluminum foil.
    3. Paste the square pieces of aluminum foil 5mm
    away from the edge of the paper.
    4. Place the wire at the middle of the square
    aluminium foil
    5. Bend the end of the wire 180 degrees for better contact.
    6. No glue on the aluminium foil must touch the wire.
    7. Fold the paper
    8. Place another foil at the back of the folded paper. Repeat steps 4-7.
    9. Calculate the capacitance using a multimeter.

    Answer key:
    1. Capacitor is a device that stores energy of electrical charges.
    2. The capacitance is the amount of electric energy present in the capacitor.
    3. the factors that affect the capacitance size and distance
    4. Capacitors helps in the conditioning of power supplies
    5. Powerbank for its stores energy and releases energy when a cord is inserted to it.

    Generalizations:
    A capacitor is made up of two metallic plates with a dielectric material in between. When

    you apply a voltage over the two plates, an electric field is created. Positive charge will collect

    on one plate and then moves on the negative charge on the other.
