Understanding Electrostatic Capacitance
Capacitance (C) is the ability of a system to store an electric charge. It is defined as the ratio of the change in electric charge of a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential.
Formula: C = Q / V, where Q is the charge and V is the potential difference (voltage).
The SI unit of capacitance is the Farad (F), which is equivalent to one Coulomb per Volt (C/V).
