Definition of the Capacitance of capacitor
A small glass can contain a little water, while a large glass can contain more water. The larger the volume of glass, the more water that can be contained. So, each glass has the capacity or size of the ability to contain water. Like glass, capacitors also can store the electrical charges and the electrical potential energy. Capacitor capacity to store the electrical charge and the electric potential energy is called capacitance.
Factors affect capacitance
The size of the glass’s ability to contain water is determined by the volume of the glass. What about capacitors, what determines the size of the capacitor’s ability to store the electric charge?
