What is Capacitance?

Capacitance, the property of an electric conductor, or set of conductors, that is measured by the amount of separated electric charge that can be stored on it per unit change in electrical potential. The SI unit of capacitance is the farad (symbol: F), named after the English physicist Michael Faraday. A 1-farad capacitor, when charged with 1 coulomb of electrical charge, has a potential difference of 1 volt between its plates.
