Examples for capacitances

The variable condenser used in series with the aerial wire system has 26 plates and is equal to a capacitance of .0008 mfd.

The condenser used in the secondary coil circuit has 14 plates and this is equal to a capacitance of .0004 mfd.

As the blades of the tuning forks vibrate, the capacitance is alternately increased and decreased by the required amount.

The capacitance of a condenser or a circuit depends on its size and form and the voltage of the current that is charging it.

In honeycomb and other stagger wound coils the capacitance is more evenly distributed.
