CAPACTTANCE
Capacitance of a conductor is its ability to store electric charges. Mfclectriz charges are givento
‘conductor, ts potential rises. The potential V of a conductor is directly proportionallto its charge q.

Or —q=CV where Cis called the capacity or capacitance of the conductor.
‘Thats the capacitance of a conductor is defined as the ratio of the charge to the potential
throwgh which the conductor rises. -
The capacitance of a conductor is one fora if a charge of one coulomb is sufficient to raise its
potential through one volt.
Note: farad is a large unit. So for convenience, we use micro farad (iF) ¥e 10*F, nano farad (nF) 10°F,
