Step-by-step explanation:

Capacitance of a capacitor is defined as the amount of charge stored per unit voltage. Capacitor is a device that is used to store electric charge. Its mathematical term is given by :


C=(Q)/(V)

Q is the amount of charge

V is the voltage or potential difference

Its SI unit is farad. It consist of two conducting plates that are separated by an insulating material. If A is the cross sectional area of each of the plates that are separated by a distance d. Then capacitance is given by :


C=(A\epsilon_o)/(d)


\epsilon_o is the permittivity of the free space
