I Measure the Capacitance of a condenser

AI Thread Summary
The capacitance of a self-made capacitor varies with the distance between its aluminum plates, which can be influenced by sound waves. A De Sauty Bridge was considered for measurement but deemed unsuitable for the requirements. The relationship between capacitance (C), permittivity (ε0), area (A), and distance (d) is relevant, with ε0 and A remaining constant. To measure the variation in capacitance, one can charge the capacitor to a DC voltage, disconnect the source, and then measure the AC voltage as the plate separation changes. Utilizing a FET follower as a voltage buffer is recommended for accurate readings.

TL;DR Summary
I built a condenser and I want to measure the capacitance of it when reduce the distance between the two plate

when the distance between the two piece of aluminum variate, the capacitance of this self-made capacitor also variate, and I would like the measure the variation of the capacitance caused by a sound wave. If I thought about a De Sauty Bridge but it doesn't fit my requirements. The is this relation between C and ε0 *A/d where ε0 and A are fixed in my case.

Welcome to PF.

If you charge the capacitor to a DC voltage, then disconnect the source of charge. Measure the AC voltage as the separation of the plates change, due to sound waves.
Use a FET follower as a voltage buffer.

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
