Chocolate Capacitance

8 November, 2007 (18:28) | Science! | By: Arlen

Halloween has come and gone. There are two ways to tell. First, there is the dehydrating Jack ‘O Lanterns. But more importantly there is the Pawn-the-Kids-Candy-Off-On-My-Coworkers-Before-I-Eat-It-All scheme. Which means for a week or two after Halloween there are bowls and baskets of candy all over this place.

After a while, it just sits there. Sad really, kind of depressing.

That’s where we are at now, or were at until today. Now it is a test media.

Ever wonder about the electrical properties of Hershey’s Chocolate? Wonder no more:

That’s right. 5.2 and 3.9 nF (nanofarads). I think we need a larger sample size to determine distribution. Then we should call Hershey and have them work on the process capability.

 Please Note:  I did not do this.  They were sitting on top of a filing cabinet already labeled.  I am not responsible for this nerd-fest.  Mostly beacuse I didn’t think of it first.
