Capacitance
Capacitance, a fundamental concept in physics and electrical engineering, is the ability of a system to store an electric charge. It is a crucial parameter in electronic circuits, influencing the time-dependent behavior of electrical systems. Measured in farads, capacitance is determined by the geometry of conductive elements and the dielectric material between them. This property plays a pivotal role in various technologies, from energy storage devices like capacitors to the functioning of touchscreens and memory devices. Understanding capacitance is essential for designing efficient electronic systems and optimizing their performance.
