About This Product
A decade capacitance box lets students select a standard capacitance by setting its dials, without changing separate capacitors in the circuit. It is used in electrical and electronics laboratories in AC circuits, bridge and resonance experiments where a known, adjustable capacitance is needed. Each dial has 10 steps, called a decade, and the box has a provision to minimise residual capacitance, the small capacitance that remains with all dials at zero.
