IEC CHARGE ON A CAPACITOR WITH POWER SUPPLY
Using the IEC ‘Charge on Capacitor’, The value of a capacitor in microfarads (uF) can be calculated using measurements and first principles.

The charging current is adjusted to be very small and this set current is held constant during the charging.

The voltage on the capacitor is monitored by a high impedance digital voltmeter (10 megohms) and the time is checked by the student using a stopwatch.

The included LB2624-001 9V battery power source is very small and convenient to use. The currents used are normally less than 1 milliamp, so battery life should be very long.

The unit has pairs of 4mm banana sockets for the following connections:
INPUT: Apply 9V DC power from the battery source
OUTPUT: Using a multimeter, to preset the desired charging current and then to
connect the sockets to one capacitor to charge it at that preset current.

NOTE: This is a genuine IEC product.
We believe in supporting Australian industry and only sell genuine IEC products, we do NOT sell imported clones of IEC products.
