  2. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    Capacitance is proportional to the area of overlap and inversely proportional to the separation between conducting sheets. The closer the sheets are to each other, the greater the capacitance. An example is the capacitance of a capacitor constructed of two parallel plates both of area separated by a distance .

  3. Quantum capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_capacitance

    Quantum capacitance, [1] also known as chemical capacitance [2] and electrochemical capacitance ¯, [3] was first theoretically introduced by Serge Luryi (1988), [1] and is defined as the variation of electrical charge with respect to the variation of electrochemical potential ¯, i.e., ¯ = ¯. [3]

    For example, in charging such a capacitor the differential increase in voltage with charge is governed by: = where the voltage dependence of capacitance, C(V), suggests that the capacitance is a function of the electric field strength, which in a large area parallel plate device is given by ε = V/d.

  6. Farad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farad

    The relationship between capacitance, charge, and potential difference is linear. For example, if the potential difference across a capacitor is halved, the quantity of charge stored by that capacitor will also be halved. For most applications, the farad is an impractically large unit of capacitance.

    The unit of capacitance is the farad, named after Michael Faraday, and given the symbol F: one farad is the capacitance that develops a potential difference of one volt when it stores a charge of one coulomb. A capacitor connected to a voltage supply initially causes a current as it accumulates charge; this current will however decay in time as ...
