Capacitance is the ability of a material to store an electrical charge. The higher the capacitance of a material, the more charge it can store. Capacitors are devices that use capacitance to store electrical energy.

The amount of charge that a capacitor can store is determined by its capacitance, which is measured in Farads. The larger the capacitance, the more charge it can store. A capacitor’s Faraday constant (F) is determined by its size and shape, as well as the dielectric constant of the material between its plates.

The most common type of capacitor is made up of two metal plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric. When voltage is applied to these plates, an electric field forms across the dielectric and causes charges to accumulate on each plate proportional to their area. This accumulation of charges creates a potential difference across each plate known as Plate Voltage (Vp).
