A Level Physics CAPACITANCE The concept of capacitance.

CAPACITANCE
Capacitance is a measure of the electrical charge storing ability of a material. It is defined as being the charge stored per applied p.d.

C = Q / V
Capacitance is measured in farads (F), note that this is a large unit and practically microfarads are more often encountered.
