Capacitance
Capacitance is a fundamental property of electrical circuits that describes the ability of a capacitor to store electrical charge. It is a measure of how much charge can be stored on a capacitor for a given voltage. Capacitors are used in a wide variety of electronic devices, from simple filters to complex digital circuits.
How Capacitance Works
A capacitor consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric. When a voltage is applied across the plates, positive charge is attracted to one plate and negative charge is attracted to the other plate. This separation of charge creates an electric field between the plates.
