About Electrostatic Capacitance

Electrostatic capacitance (C) is the ability of a system to store an electric charge. It is measured in farads (F) and is a fundamental property of capacitors.

The farad is the SI unit of capacitance. One farad is the capacitance of a capacitor that stores one coulomb of charge when the potential difference is one volt.

Common Applications:

  • Capacitor design and selection
  • Circuit analysis and design
  • Power factor correction
  • Filter design and implementation
  • Energy storage systems
