This lab uses the Capacitor Lab: Basics simulation from PhET Interactive Simulations
Identify the variables that affect the capacitance and how each affects the capacitance.
Determine the relationships between charge, voltage, and stored energy for a capacitor.
Relate the design of the capacitor system to its ability to store energy.
Explain how to use a capacitor to light a bulb.
Describe what happens as charge drains away from a capacitor into a light bulb
