Aepinus Condenser
Model Number: MT-1060
The Aepinus Condenser from Micro Technologies is a classic electrostatics laboratory apparatus designed for investigations involving capacitance, electrostatic induction, charge storage, plate separation and dielectric materials. The MT-1060 incorporates conducting plates with an intermediate insulating plate in an adjustable laboratory arrangement, allowing important capacitor and electrostatic principles to be demonstrated practically.
Product Specification
The Aepinus Condenser from Micro Technologies is designed for experimental investigations of capacitance and electrostatic phenomena. Its open laboratory construction makes the arrangement of conducting and insulating elements clearly visible, providing a practical way to connect capacitor theory with physical observations.
The MT-1060 incorporates conducting plates arranged with an intermediate insulating or dielectric plate. The components are supported on a stable laboratory base and can be positioned according to the requirements of suitable electrostatics experiments.
The apparatus is useful for demonstrating the fundamental behaviour of a capacitor or condenser. When opposite electric charges are established on separated conducting plates, electrical energy can be stored in the electric field associated with the arrangement.
One of the important applications of the Aepinus Condenser is the investigation of dielectric effects. Introducing an insulating material between the conducting surfaces changes the effective permittivity of the region and consequently influences the capacitance of the arrangement.
The apparatus can therefore be used to compare capacitor behaviour with air and with a suitable dielectric material between the plates. This provides a direct experimental introduction to permittivity and dielectric constant.
Plate separation is another important factor affecting capacitance. In an idealized parallel-plate arrangement, capacitance is approximately described by C = εA/d, where ε represents permittivity, A is the effective overlapping area and d is the separation between the conducting plates.
The MT-1060 also supports demonstrations involving electrostatic induction. Charge redistribution on conducting components can be investigated when charged bodies or conductors are brought into suitable positions without necessarily requiring direct electrical contact.
Its open configuration makes it possible to observe how changes in plate position and dielectric placement alter the experimental arrangement. This is particularly useful for understanding the physical factors that influence capacitance rather than treating a capacitor only as an enclosed electrical component.
The apparatus can be used with a compatible electroscope, electrometer, electrostatic generator or other charge-detection equipment depending on the laboratory experiment being performed.
Comparative experiments may be carried out by altering one experimental parameter at a time, such as plate spacing or dielectric placement, while maintaining the remaining conditions as consistently as possible.
The Aepinus Condenser is also useful for broader discussions involving electric potential, electric fields, charge separation, electrostatic energy and capacitor construction.
Its stable base provides convenient support for repeated laboratory investigations, while the exposed arrangement offers easy access to the experimental components.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Aepinus Condenser is suitable for physics laboratories, electrostatics laboratories and scientific experimental facilities requiring practical apparatus for capacitance and electrostatic studies.

FAQs
What is an Aepinus Condenser used for?
An Aepinus Condenser is used for experiments involving capacitance, electrostatic induction, dielectric effects, charge storage and plate separation.
What is the Micro Technologies model number?
The Micro Technologies model number is MT-1060.
What is a condenser in electrostatics?
In traditional terminology, a condenser is essentially a capacitor—an arrangement of conductors separated by an insulating medium that can store separated electric charge and electrical energy.
Can dielectric materials be studied with this apparatus?
Yes. The intermediate insulating plate allows suitable experiments involving the effect of a dielectric material on capacitance.
What happens when a dielectric is introduced between the plates?
Under otherwise equivalent conditions, introducing a dielectric with relative permittivity greater than air generally increases the capacitance of the arrangement.
Can plate separation affect capacitance?
Yes. For an idealized parallel-plate capacitor, increasing the distance between the plates while keeping other parameters unchanged decreases capacitance.
Can the apparatus demonstrate electrostatic induction?
Yes. The Aepinus Condenser can support experiments involving charge redistribution and electrostatic induction using appropriate experimental procedures.
Can it be used for charge-storage demonstrations?
Yes. The arrangement demonstrates the basic principle of storing separated electric charge on conducting surfaces separated by an insulating region.
Can it be used with an electroscope?
Yes. A compatible electroscope or electrometer can be incorporated into suitable experiments for detecting and comparing electrostatic effects.
Where can the Aepinus Condenser be used?
It is suitable for physics laboratories, electrostatics laboratories and scientific experimental facilities conducting capacitance and electric-charge investigations.
