Capacitor Study Kit (Product Code: SCL-495/026) is a parallel-plate capacitor kit used to investigate how plate area, plate separation and the material between the plates affect capacitance, in school and college physics laboratories. It provides two pairs of 20 x 20 cm and two pairs of 28 x 28 cm Plexiglass plates, with 21 x 21 cm glass and polystyrene sheets to place between them. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor grows with the area of the plates, falls as the plates are moved apart, and rises when an insulating material replaces the air between them. This kit lets students test each factor in turn: they compare the 20 x 20 cm and 28 x 28 cm plate pairs for area, vary the gap between the plates mounted in the holder, and slide the glass or polystyrene sheet between the plates.
Because the 21 x 21 cm sheets slightly overlap the smaller plates, they cover the whole plate area when inserted, which keeps the comparison fair. The results introduce the idea of the dielectric constant and explain why real capacitors use thin insulating layers between large conducting surfaces. In this electricity experiment kit for senior school and college, keep the plates and sheets clean and dry, since surface moisture affects readings.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Capacitor Study Kit and produces it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutions, dealers and importers order the kit directly from the manufacturer, which also handles questions about replacement plates, sheets or holders — ask us.

What is included in the Capacitor Study Kit?
The Capacitor Study Kit includes two pairs of 20 x 20 cm and two pairs of 28 x 28 cm Plexiglass plates, a 21 x 21 cm glass sheet, a 21 x 21 cm polystyrene sheet, an LC meter item with a 50 cm lead, a device clamp and a holder for fixing capacitors.
Why does the Capacitor Study Kit have plates of two sizes?
The Capacitor Study Kit has 20 x 20 cm and 28 x 28 cm plate pairs so students can compare capacitors of different plate area while keeping the gap and material the same, showing that capacitance increases with area.
What are the glass and polystyrene sheets for?
The 21 x 21 cm glass and polystyrene sheets in the Capacitor Study Kit are placed between the plates as dielectrics. Comparing them with air shows how the material between the plates changes capacitance.
Does the Capacitor Study Kit include a meter?
The Capacitor Study Kit contents list an LC meter item with a wire/cable conductor of 50 cm with two 4 mm connecting heads. Confirm the meter’s type and ranges with us through the contact page before ordering.
Who manufactures the Capacitor Study Kit?
The Capacitor Study Kit is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
