Write a blog about capacitance. What is capacitance?
Capacitance is the property of a system that has the ability
to store a charge. Any object that can be electrically charged has capacitance. Capacitance is measured in farads (F),
which is coulomb/volts. A capacitor is a device that provides capacitance in an
electric circuit by providing a means for storing energy in an electric field
between two conducting bodies. A capacitor consists of two conducting plates
separated by an insulating layer called a dielectric. When a capacitor is
connected in a circuit across a voltage source, the voltage forces electron
onto the surface of one plate and pulls electrons off the surface of the other
plate resulting in a potential difference between the plates.
The picture below is an electric keyboard. It is an example of a capacitor because it can be electrically charged.
