In my high school calculus-based electricity class two students and I are trying to create a demo where we set up a parallel plate capacitor and have some dielectric material inside it that we can pull out slightly, and have it oscillate into and out of the capacitor.
Some ideas we have already:
Two aluminum plates hooked up to a battery as our capacitor
Styrofoam as dielectric material (lightweight)
Maybe use some string to make it like a pendulum?
Any ideas or advice on how to construct would be greatly appreciated
