    Abstract:

    A simple, inexpensive method of recording tremor, using a variable-capacitance transducer, is described. Technical details of the transducer are given, along with examples of tremor traces illustrating the transducer's ability to monitor parkinsonian patients during drug therapy.

    Equivalent Capacitance

    Multiple capacitors can be connected in a circuit in series or parallel configuration. When the capacitor combination is connected to a battery, the potential drop across each capacitor and the magnitude of charge stored in the individual capacitor depends on the type of the connection. The capacitor combination is replaced by a single equivalent capacitor that stores the same amount of charge as the combination for a given potential difference.
    The following strategies are adopted to calculate...

    Equivalent Capacitance

    From the study of resistive circuits, it is understood that employing a series-parallel combination serves as an effective strategy for simplifying circuits. Capacitors can be arranged within a circuit in one of two ways: a series configuration or a parallel configuration. The way these capacitors are connected to a battery will influence both the potential drop across each individual capacitor and the size of the charge that each capacitor can store. This is determined by the specific type of...
