define capacitance in detail.?
Answers
Answer:
Capacitance is the ability of a component or circuit to collect and store energy in the form of an electrical charge.
Capacitors are energy-storing devices available in many sizes and shapes. They consist of two plates of conducting material (usually a thin metal) sandwiched between an insulator made of ceramic, film, glass or other materials, even air.
The insulator is also known as a dielectric, and it boosts a capacitor's charging capacity. Capacitors are sometimes called condensers in the automotive, marine and aviation industries.
The internal plates are wired to two external terminals, which sometimes are long and thin and can resemble tiny metallic antennae or legs. These terminals can be plugged into a circuit.
Capacitors and batteries both store energy. While batteries release energy gradually, capacitors discharge it quickly.
