Title Capacitor Design Remote Lab
Description This lesson uses PocketLab Notebook software to deliver lessons to students with the simulation embedded. In this lesson, Students will be able to: Identify the variables that affect the capacitance and how each affects the capacitance. Determine the relationships between charge, voltage, and stored energy for a capacitor. Relate the design of the capacitor system to its ability to store energy. Explain how to use a capacitor to light a bulb. Describe what happens as charge drains away from a capacitor into a light bulb
