Capacitance is the ability of a system to store electric charge when a potential difference (voltage) is applied across it. Mathematically, capacitance (C) is defined as the ratio of charge (Q) stored to the applied voltage (V): Types of Capacitors and Their Structures Parallel Plate Capacitor A common type of capacitor is the parallel plate capacitor, consisting of two metal plates separated by a dielectric. Its capacitance is determined by: κ = dielectric constant (relative permittivity) ε0= p
