Capacitance Definition
Another important property in AC electronic circuits, besides resistance and inductance, is capacitance. Capacitance is measured in units. The unit of capacitance is the farad. While inductance is represented in a circuit by a coil, capacitance is represented by a capacitor. In its most basic form, the capacitor is constructed of two parallel plates separated by a nonconductor, called a dielectric. In an electrical circuit, a capacitor serves as a reservoir or storehouse for electricity.Capacita
