PhET Student Interactive Introduction on Capacitance & Dielectric Constants

Title	PhET Student Interactive Introduction on Capacitance & Dielectric Constants
Description	In this lab students will explore the effect of space and dielectric materials inserted between the conductors of the capacitor in a circuit. They will discover the relationship between capacitance, plate area and separation. Students will able to visualize how a dielectric changes the amount of charge a capacitor can hold.
